Okay, so I'm sure you've all noticed the ads on here....We all got a big laugh out of those "new joiners" to that Zoosk site... So I'm curious....what is up with the two can herpes site?

Doesn't that almost reek of some sick, twisted, irony or forehadowing or something? I mean you go to click on someone's profile, and there's this big ad in your face saying that if you have herpes, you can check out this new site and find love.

I'm all about people wanting love whether they have a venereal disease or not and so I can see the significance of the site to those individuals, but it just seems a little bit bold in the advertising.

Oh, and what's with the name? TwoCan? Is that like a play off the word Toucan???? laugh

I heard one in five americans have herpes(though most dont know). Maybe it was just the figure for men, i cant remember.

I have never seen that ad. Maybe they know i am a brit and am clean!

I doubt that is the reason...maybe it's a location thing...

I'm pretty sure that the real statistic is 1 in 5 people who have herpes don't know they have herpes

Like thats gonna happen.rofl

Everyone I know here on mingle are from out of state. There are only 5 people from Ohio on my friends list, and none of them are from my immediate area.

Does this happen to anyone else on here? Just curious.

I don't see any ads and never have. I guess the adblocker on my Firefox works well.

This one for Progressive is driving me nuts! It has a pair of scissors running across the screen cutting a coupon. Keep thinking it's a bug.
