Typooooo!

I feel compelled to document errors on ads for gaming apps. Of course, I’m torn—it’s like wanting to tell a bot or scammer what they did wrong to point out their mistakes but at the same time not wanting them to fix things which would make it harder for us to figure out what’s a crap product or person.

And my friend Mike has mentioned his trepidation about AI taking all of this over and actually getting so good, we won’t be able to tell it’s not human.

So for now let’s just revel in the errors.

I let ads run over my phone while I do other things, so I don’t actually have to watch them, and this popped up, prompting me to deposit a little shaving cream on my phone getting the screenshot.

Now, a couple of things. This appeared on my screen on May 8, 2024, so I assume the date at the top is for demonstration purposes only.

Also: Me, iPhone, you Siri! Where Tarzan and Jane?

BUT! Imagine getting infected with that many VIVRS! Eww, that’s like a child’s playground cootie infestation! What to do! What to do?

I guess we download the aoo and see. Now where’s that icon for the Aoo Store? I don’t want to get crrupted! Officer Cruppted, Crup You!
