I want your opinions, people. Now get in here and give them to me. ALL OF YOU!!!!

OK, here's the deal. As you all know, or will by the time you read this, we are going to be running banners on the site.
I would like input from you in regards to what kind of advertising you would like to see.
What I am looking for is advertising that would genuinely interest you, things you would use or ads for sites you would visit, or whatever. I don't need affirmation that you are all willing to click on the banners to support the site. Advertisers are wise to that and we also know that you having to click on a bunch of boring ads will wear thin in a short time.
I want suggestions of ads you will WANT to see. Note- we are NOT, I repeat NOT looking to advertise porn sites, so don't bother saying porn.
I have been researching the market and want this information so I can set up an ad format that will be complimentary to the site. I also might add that there is no gaurantee of what ads we may get but your input will be valuable in the search.
Also, if you know of anyone looking to advertise, we will be offering some very attractive rates in the beginning and it would behoove them to get on board before we get REALLY famous and the rates become ridiculously high.
So, be serious for a moment and tell me what you think.

Don't argue with me.

Was it something you would do for anybody?
Was it what you'd only do for me?
Or was it something where you acted when you saw the need
And knew that there would be a way the act could be repaid
And so it may, but for today
I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell

Frozen foods.

I think quick, easy to prepare meals go hand in hand with my busy Asylum lifestyle.

Maybe a big tie-in during March, National Frozen Food Month.

Independent shops and stuff, like music/record shops, maybe clothes, boots, that kind of thing. Or... hmm. I dunno, something other than the usual crap.

Anything off the beaten path, really.

And I second the motion for no goddamned monkeys. That thing drives me nuts.

No porn. My grandfather has this X-Stop thing on our service. I wouldn't be able to come back here. Unless, of course, that is a side-goal of yours.

Ok....I relent:

Banners on 'puter hardware or web site creation tools is all I ever pay attention to.
