There's also a script blocking plugin for Google Chrome, but its an all or nothing toggle. Much prefer noscript.
That said, ED has always been rife with ads from questionable sources. It was just a matter of time.

So the picture shows the outfit on a petite or lanky Asian and the outfit they're selling is for a moo cow?

Yeah, I didn't notice anything bad at all. Obvious solution is too obvious for me. Still, I caught the reference before I had to quit it, so yay! |

I don't see much to laugh about that picture, if that's the case. I did say Asian, not Asian female.  I guess it's funny because it's a dude dressing up like a girl? Trying not to sperg out here... |

I'm afraid to ask because I'll most likely start an ugly derail but is a big name athlete changing teams really such a huge deal?
I'm mostly used to european competitive sports (the biggest being football or soccer as you call it) and there it's the norm rather than the exception for players to switch teams multiple times throughout their careers. Usually because of better contracts or the better potential to get titles.
It's even worse because there are no draft rules. I honestly cannot remember a single football player that played for the same team 7 seasons in a row.

The background is this (in a nut shell): LeBron was born and raised in Akron Ohio just south of Cleveland. He showed remarkable skill and size from an early age He was seen as one of the most gifted basketball players in high school He declared himself eligible for the NBA draft his senior year in high school Cleveland, miraculously, won the NBA draft lottery and the rights to select him 1st Upon entering the NBA, Cleveland's team started becoming viable again (and in essence, the city) LeBron lead Cleveland to the NBA playoffs and finals which had not happened for any Cleveland team since the 90s Indians LeBron was deemed the savior of a city that has not won a championship in 48 years in any sport - since the Cavs were really the only viable team in the city LeBron goes on national television to announce his decision to leave his native town for Miami to play with two other NBA powerhouse players in hopes of winning a title there Hence, the signs. |

Marquee players tend to get treated a bit differently in the nba. Star players can earn the most money by sticking with the team that drafted them, so that often happens and when players do switch it's a bigger deal. But Lebron is a special case, he was being an ass when he left Clevenland.

01101010 missed the years of "support" and accolades that Cleveland/ Akron gave him during his Jr. High and High School years. At least from what my friends who still live there say when bitching about it. As with all other athletes I suspect that "Support" really means, "Looking the other way when he committed misdemeanors. Helping him break the rules (Who remembers the saga of the car he bought his mom as a senior?) and giving him rim jobs about how great he is."
Really, the part that I think makes him a douche is turning the whole thing into a spectacle. Yeah, he acted like a self-centered, super-entitled prick by breaking his home town's heart on national TV. Cleveland's just as much to blame for that as anyone.

The Cleveland organisation has been a real clusterfuck. If you read up about Lebron and the company his buddies set up (LRMR) it's all one huge mess. The guy still acts like a kid. You should try and dig up the story about Lebron partying in Vegas written by Arash Markazi (at least that's funny even if it's not a picture).

It's much more common these days for athletes to move around, but there is still a stigma in American sports culture against blatantly leaving your team just because you want much more money or a title. That's why everybody hates the Yankee's. They have massive wealth (I mean literally, the Yankee's franchise is worth over 1.5 billion dollars) and use it to buy lots of star players. People who leave their teams to go to the Yankee's tend to become hated.
Again, its much more common now for players to be fluid between teams, but its considered more sportsman like to stay loyal to your team than doing what ever it takes to get yourself a ring.

The background is this (in a nut shell):
LeBron was born and raised in Akron Ohio just south of Cleveland.
He showed remarkable skill and size from an early age
He was seen as one of the most gifted basketball players in high school
He declared himself eligible for the NBA draft his senior year in high school
Cleveland, miraculously, won the NBA draft lottery and the rights to select him 1st
Upon entering the NBA, Cleveland's team started becoming viable again (and in essence, the city)
LeBron lead Cleveland to the NBA playoffs and finals which had not happened for any Cleveland team since the 90s Indians
LeBron was deemed the savior of a city that has not won a championship in 48 years in any sport - since the Cavs were really the only viable team in the city
LeBron goes on national television to announce his decision to leave his native town for Miami to play with two other NBA powerhouse players in hopes of winning a title there
Hence, the signs.
To which I respond: So what. It's his life. Athletes have a short window in time to make their money and achieve their personal and professional goals. LeBron stayed longer than most would have due to his loyalty. I don't see how Cleveland has anything to bitch about. They got over a decade to watch one of the best athletes this world has to offer. Also, it's fucking Cleveland. Gee... I'm young and rich... would I rather live in Cleveland or Miami? Tough choice. |
