    I read ad from adsense, that was calling a reader looser, as for me i recalled rich jerk tactick and think that it can bring higher CTR, but then i thought as normal visitor and i loose all trust for whole ad block.

    Why i mention?? becouse it can decrease CTR. When people will read something like this, they can feel offended.

    Do you think i should do somthing about it, like writing to google about that.

    I know that this kind of marketing may be sucessfull at the beggining but at the end people will get pissed off becouse someone call them a looser.

    Please,write what you think.

    Dude, it's a piece of text, and its only aimed at people who acutally look at it and think to themselves. "You know what, i am a loser. And this product will stop me being a loser"

    rofl, its like reverse-psychology.

    "dont push that button" or "Whatever you do, just don't click on the Ads" :)

    if you're offended by it, why not just block the URL?
