Do people actually click on ridiculous on-screen ads?

  • Believe it or not, the internet is new to some people. My mom has been using a computer for a little while now and still doesn't know you can type whatever the fuck you want into google. She still thinks you have to type in www.(whatever).com to get to a website, and if you don't know the name of the website you want then you're fucked. She also has no clue how to avoid scams (she doesn't necessarily fall for them, she just doesn't know how to discern scam link from good link). I'm sure she probably clicks on dumb ads and I do know if she does google something, she clicks on scam or sponsored links.

    She seems to think you have to use proper and exact terminology to google something. She can't comprehend that you can type something as ridiculous as 'why do black people like watermelon' and get results.

    My dad is slightly more internet retarded, but he very rarely uses it. He doesn't even know how to shut the computer down, he just unplugs it when he's done.

    So, yeah, that's who's clicking on ads. People like that and stupid horny men.....mostly.

    • A few years ago, my mom was checking her email when she suddenly started freaking out about a virus. Turned out AOL had just released an update, and there were information bubbles on the screen describing the new features.

      "Flutterhigh! Flutterhiiigh! Where did all these viruses come from?!"

      "What? What viruses?"

      *points at screen with tears in her eyes*

      "......"
