Occurs when a company releases an advertising campaign which is hi-jacked by others purporting to be the company in press releases that instead point out company shortcomings.
Chevron released the "We Agree" ad campaign on October 18, 2010. A group of under the radar marketers, the Yes Men, released a press release highlighting the company's alleged shortcomings related to environmental issues, pretending that is was an official press release from Chevron. As the press began reporting on the fraudulent press releases, the Yes Men issued another press release supposedly again from Chevron, that reported that the ad campaign and related press releases had been hi-jacked. The term ad-dentity theft was created to describe the the identity of the ad being stolen.

Latin for "appeal to the people"
(If many believe so, it is so)

A window that pops up on the screen suddenly, often without warning, advertising something. Nobody ever actually buys what the pop-up is advertising. They're just annoying pieces of crap. Some people create ones that install malware or other unwanted files onto a user's computer.
In other words, an embodiment of Satan.
I clicked the download button for a file on Megaupload and a pop-up ad came up advertising a free iPad. I knew it had to be a scam, so I tried to close it, but it wouldn't close. So I had to close Firefox in Task Manager, but that closed ALL running Firefox processes, not just the pop-up ad. Freakin' annoying.

Reductio Ad Absurdum (Latin for "reduction to absurdity") is a logical argument that refutes a statement by proving that the premise would lead to a logically absurd and ridiculous conclusion.
Another great phrase to use against flat-earthers and other conspiracy nutjobs alike.
Flat-earther: THE EARTH IS FLAT!!!!
Me, an intellectual: Oh yeah, then explain how nobody has ever fallen off the edge of the earth. Reductio Ad Absurdum.
The word "Annoying ass ads" has many meanings and is expressed with a lot of emotions such as annoyed, frustrated, and more. "Annoying ass ads" also is known for a random ad that pops up while watching porn, while playing games, while watching youtube videos and more. The best way to stop annoying ass ads is to have a adblock on google chrome and if that doesn't work, I guess you're just Hippo Fuck ed
Wait, some annoying ass ads popped up.
