How is the ability to rate ads going to get me to stop me (and others) ignoring them 100%? Seems like they spent a bunch of time to code a feature nobody would want or even ask for.

Heh heh heh, anyone who falls for this is an even bigger sucker than average.

Allowing people to comment on ads just to get them to pay attention is pretty bad. The only people they will get responses from are those dumb enough to not see what's going on.

The people that use Facebook and other Social Sites are all so stupid that they won't see that they are being used... that's the real sorrow.

I think these Facebook social ads are a joke. No one clicks through!
