Ack, sorry, I wasn't thinking... I was so tired when I got home from school. I was thinking I had read stuff about it, but on second thought, that was school districts making decisions, not courts. Sorry about that.

Okay, so some ads are legit. There are ways to get free iPods, this is true. However, a HUGE number of ads are not legit at all. Some ads don't even have a little asterisk to warn you about the catch. People still click those, and they get nothing. Really, somebody (or a group of half the people who use the internet, may be) should sue the companies who do this. It's not hard to figure out who the company is. The ad directs you to a site, and a site has to have an owner. Sue the site and you've in essence sued the owner. Not hard at all to figure out who is behind it.
And really, it's not that I have problems with ads, I just have a problem with lying ads. Commercials don't bother me, but if half the commercials I saw were "CALL THIS NUMBER AND WIN 500 BUCKS!" I would be pissed. Legit ads for real companies that I could click and see about a product would be nice. As it is now, people are so trained to not trust ads on sites, so any advertising done doesn't help much. Even if something looks interesting, many people will think "oh no, those ads gave my friend a virus. No way I'm clicking that!" I think we'd all benefit if these illegal, lying ads were eliminated.So I've gone completely slack-ass and haven't done any work on creating games. =(
In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.
So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
And I write the blog for their website.
Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =OComment
