Morons. They don't know who Fabio is?

He's actually a pretty cool guy.

I think Linus is the oldest person there at 30.

I'm surprised that Purch didn't bother updating the Black Friday forum this year. If they love ads so damn much, they probably could have put some sponsored posts in there.

A 30 year old that doesnt know Fabio is a fucking moron.

I would make the exact opposite statement.

 

[sandorski]

I can't believe they don't know him better!

Disagree.

Fabio hasn't had much media exposure like he did in the 90's. Linus was a young kid then. And, maybe he doesn't care much for entertainment except for technology.

The ads are only an issue on mobile, I sometimes check forums from bed (bad habit) before I go to sleep and last night I actually had an ad that tried to activate the mic. I have a Blackberry DTEK50 which has some extra security features such as asking for permission if an app tries to use a resource, so I got a popup asking if I can allow Firefox to use the mic. I'm like "uhhh no?" and denied it.

This one is amusing too:



I like that it's smart enough to know what city I live in but not smart enough to know we don't have a casino here. At least they are showing real Canadian 20's, so I'll give them that.

The little shit needs to go to Americana school. Fabio is in fact the definition of the American dream.

Look at that fuckin' crap. And here I am taging NSFW for senseless shit.

But I do it out of respect, peace, love and harmony, man. Pass the six foot blunt.

The only reason I know that name and a general idea of what he looks like is that there was a guy at my work that people called that.

Not everyone spends their time glued to TV and staying up to date with celebrities.

I remember they had tomshardware ad, that was desperate.

HAHA Seriously? BAHAHAHAHA! I think it would be funny as a monkey playing with his balls if I created an AD for my forum here.

"Come to John Connor's forum of one person conversations. You may lift an eyebrow, but you may in fact learn something."

I'm not that into pop culture either. But growing up through the 80's and 90's I was exposed to the commercials. And I learned more about him on the news from time to time.

The only reason I've heard of him is because someone posted that video of him when he got his nose broken by a goose on a roller-coaster.

I was about to say that. It happened at Busch Gardens here in Tampa on the Montu roller coaster.
