Which irony? Adopt a panda or the ad for a movie that glorifies smoking pot (we've all gotten those stupid pop-up ads from the site)?

It took me a second to figure it out, as I usually ignore ads.

No it doesn't.

I too felt that the ad glorifies pot smoking but your disertation on how it does not has now lead me to believe otherwise.

 

I do like the thought of WWF paying WWE to host ads on the WWE website as well.

Since I've actually seen the movie and you apparently haven't since you're drawing from the advert, whatever.

Wait, it isn't about smoking? I thought they were a couple of stoners? Man, I really gotta get out and actaully see that fucking flick.

I thought it had something to do with house shows being in Texas (HBK's home state) and Calgary (Bret's)... ahh I guess I read too much into things.

Will White Castle promote value meals that will give out special limited edition Eugene collectors items?

[Guest netslob]

like pot needs ANY movie to glorify it.

Their smoking up at the beginning dictates their quest to White Castle and throughout the film they attempt to get more to smoke (as the original stuff wears off), but it's not the complete center of the film like, say, Half-Baked or How High.

I'll answer this since everyone else will probably just ignore it

 

WWF(World Wild Life Foundation?) sued the WWE for using the "WWF" initials, which is why they changed to WWE. Now the WWF are paying the WWE for an advertisement on their website.

 

ironic, eh?

Doesn't need to be the center of the film to glorify it but, as you say, "whatever."

Why does one have to see the movie to decide whether the Advertisement for the movie glorifies pot smoking? The only ad I've seen for the movie, a flash ad, has them "High over LA in search of the perfect meal." With a picture of them quite happily soaring over New Jeresey enjoying "the perfect day" in, what is stereotypically looked upon as a, pot induced laughing fit.

Some people just do not get it... it's like the comments that people made when NWA-TNA had commercials during Raw in select areas, or a WWF PPV Promo aired during Nitro. Vince didn't let TNA advertise during Raw, they went through other people such as the local cable company buying local ad time on Spike TV.

 

Same thing here, it is an advertising company that places randomized ads on the WWE.com site which is targeted at WWE's demographic.

 

Though with that point aside... after going to the site myself, I have to believe that this images is faked. The ad looks like it is Google Adworks (or is it AdSense?) displaying the ad, and WWE.com does not use google for advertisement. Why would Googles ad system, which is text based without images, also randomize in flash animation?

 

After refreshing the page several times, all I got were flash ads, including products like Trojan Condoms, Starsky and Hutch on DVD, and Anti-Drug website, Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, History Channel.com, Aliens vs. Predator, Collateral The Movie, and SummerSlam.

 

It's faked... why would anyone even bother to fake this anyway?

So are you saying that WWE isn NOT making money off of that ad space that WWF is utilizing or what?

You're a fucking idiot.

 

I took the time to fake the picture. Brilliant Holmes.

One of those adverts looked out of place on a site like WWE.com (too plain), but I haven't been there in a long while so I didn't know if they started using those or what.
