You don’t want ads

So picture this, you come to Lawyers, Gun & Money to get a dose of blogtasticness. You start to read a post, because you’re not one of those people who skips straight to the comments. But after the second paragraph you come to an advertisement for McDonald’s.

Unsplash – Brett Jordan. Not really an advertisement.

After you scroll down, down, down and find more text, you read another two paragraphs and then here’s an advertisement for wine. (Yes, I considered the potato spirit, but on this day I will not troll the other front pagers. At least not intentionally.)

Unsplash – Maria das Dores. Not an actual advertisement.

And on and on. The longer the post, the more ads you have to read. Sometimes you forget what you’re reading, where you’re reading it, who is reading it.

Unsplash – Cristina Anne Costello. Still not an advertisement.

Some ads are static. But some start blasting a jingle the minute you scroll to it. That annoys you but worse yet, it annoys the cat napping on your lap. (Really, what you call your lap is its lap, but semantics).

So the cat does that thing where it sprouts 500 claws on each paw, digs them deep into your leg and launches itself across the room. In doing so it pokes about 203 microscopic holes in one of your femoral arteries. You aren’t in any real danger, but you have to call an ambulance. While EMTs are loading you onto the gurney you think: If only I’d donated to LGM.

And the cats nods its head.

Don’t let that be you. Please click on one of the links below to make a donation.
