See, you're such a comedian I though you were just busting stones until Bob mentioned there was no image...;)

Was there something on the front page that is now missing? This is just a link to their website.

Bob, it was a banner ad link, maybe different things are shown to different people based on geolocation.

Any way here it should be in all its glory:

Gotcha. Yeah the ad was gone by the time I hit the link. I'll just pretend I didn't spend 15 minutes looking over their website trying to figure out why I wasn't getting the joke.

It is still working for me, are you in the U.S.?

Has Q-see decided you're not worth pitching to? ;)

Yes, I'm in the US and using Google Chrome. I had adblock on before but I disabled it and still don't get the ad. Q-See might really not like me, see below when I tried the code:

Good thing I don't intend to buy anything from them.

I do have a small issue with it yes, but I have seen worse. This one offends me more every time I think about it.

What am I missing here? What's the problem?

My picture did not load correctly. No biggie really. The more I think about it the more I am having issues with the whole Chinese government/business concept and how it contributes to the race to the bottom. Probably just as well it did not post correctly.

Repost, pls. I didn't realize you were referring to another picture. If possible upload it instead of just a link, so we can all see the same thing, as I learned up above.

Same here, I didn't see anything that seemed unusual... wondered if the popup offering 15% was somehow sketchy, since they're selling direct online and bypassing their retailers listed at the bottom.

It's not like they are pumping out actual cameras with american flag wrappers on them - it is simply a Presidents Day Sale visual, no?

Would you be equally offended as an Irishman if they ran an ad for a St Patrick's Day Sale and wrapped the camera in the ad in a shamrock?

Oh, ok. Tell you what show me Q-see's Christmas Ad or Thanksgiving Ad or Halloween Ad, and I'll be fine with it.

Would you be equally offended as an Irishman if they ran an ad for a St Patrick's Day Sale and wrapped the camera in the ad in a shamrock?

Three problems here:

  1. St. Patrick was not a head of state
  2. The Shamrock is not the flag of Ireland
  3. I'm not Irish, religious or even superstitious
