So there I am, minding my own business, reading the news headlines until something tickles my fancy. "Oh, Nintendo shows off a new game and it's called Captain Rainbow?!?!" So naturally I click on the link so I can scoff at the article on 1up. I read a few lines of the story, it didn't seem like anything interesting, blah blah Birdo, blah blah Super Smash Bros. And then, out of the corner of my eye I think I see a smiling baby on the right side of the page, but as I glance up to mouse over the red X to close the window I realize that's no smiling baby... ZOMG IT'S A BABY WITH A CLEFT LIP!!! Damn you, Cleft Palette baby, you've fooled me once again. Fooled me into looking at your grotesque deformity...
Who's bright idea was this exactly? I don't care what you are selling, unless it's Cleft Lip Baum or some sort of mask for people with cleft palettes, you probably should avoid using images of this shit. In fairness I don't know what they were trying to sell, I just screamed in horror and shut my computer off without reading the rest of the ad. It wasn't the first time I'd seen this ad, you probably know which one I'm talking about... Over the past year I've probably run into it a dozen times or more. It's elusive, thankfully, but every time I forget about that third world baby he pops up again.
I assume the ad is for some bullshit charity that doesn't have enough money to feed Mexican babies with cleft lips but they somehow manage to buy ad space on video game websites. Just to spite this deformed child, I vow never to give money to anyone with a cleft palette, or lip, or foot or anything cleftable.
Seriously, cleft lips, WTF!?!
I was refreshing the page over and over looking for it, but didn't see any ads at all. Then I realized I had this enabled and it was blocking them. Maybe it's just what you need. It also keeps bands songs from automatically playing when you go to their MySpace.
