Do I keep seeing an ad from Act on CO2 when I submit a post...?

Or is the speed of my mental deterioration worse than previously thought...?

Dunno, but I saw an ad for this pile of censored on TV last week with factual inaccuracies. Reminded me to look out for it and complain to ASA... (who will ignore the complaint)

Perhaps, but if you download and use Firefox with the Adblock installed all this will be a thing of the past! wink

Act on Co2 advert?

Why can't we just get those guys from mission control who managed to make Co2 scrubbers out of cardboard boxes and old space suits to save the guys on Apollo 13.

They seem a clever lot. They could save the world. Problem solved.

Question is;

Why is PH allowing this advert to be viewed from their site!

That's like Macdonalds advertising everyone should be Vegan!

I've just had a go on their online game, where you have to put in your house details and it works out your Co2. I didn't get far as I had to stop at "how many light bulbs your house has" as you can't put more than 10 in. Do they think we all live in 1 bedroomed caves?

As the chap above says. The adverts come via an external advertising agency through an adserver. It's based on words used. People rant about Co2 so Co2 becomes a word targeted advert. If you talk about Jade Goody enough you'll see adverts for her biography.

Cheers for explaination! I kinda knew PH couldnt choose the adverts that are shown, but didnt know exactly how it works. Quite interesting.

No, that was his own private collection.
