Google doesn't write the copy for AdWords

[–]rylacy 22 points23 points ago

Just an fyi, the advertiser writes their own ad. That wasn't Googles doing.

Braille-iant advertising there.

Oh god kill me now.

Blind people might find it funny. I'll usually enjoy a good epilepsy joke when I hear one (something I have) and know a ton of people who take whatever disability or lifestyle choices in good humour.

Nothing like a good epilepsy joke to shake things up...

Just like OP's picture.

There are blind people on the internet. The computer reads aloud the text.

[–]Fingel 5 points6 points ago

Curse your logic. Though that does seem like a generated ad. Replace Braille with pretty much anything and you have an ad.

[–]elerner 0 points1 point ago

I was sure that was it, too, and was even initially worried about going to the site, expecting it to be some kind of clickfraud scheme. But it's actually a site where you can buy products for the vision impaired.

It doesn't seem like the people who made this site would be savvy enough to buy GoogleAds on their own, so the ad copy may be the product of some off-the-shelf marketing service that does the same thing for every client.

But then again, maybe the proprietors have a reason for not caring what their site looks like.

[–]pewit 7 points8 points ago

It still seems rude to say that the products have never been seen before.

Scumbag hipster advertiser:

Says he has a ton of braille books, but you've probably never seen them before.

[–]igreulich -1 points0 points ago

Im willing to bet that blind people use 'seen' idiomatically too.

[–]schoofer 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My dad's been blind for over fifty years and I've never heard him use words referencing sight, unless he talks about the few years as a little boy he wasn't blind. My point is I think it's subjective to how long they were sighted for.

[–]igreulich 0 points1 point ago

We are up to a data set of 1! Clearly enough info to draw conclusions!

You are probably right. I don't know how often I use some form of 'see' in every day conversation. I might not ever, but it is A Thing I Don't Think About.

I am willing to bet that blind people do have a sense of humour. At least I hope so. In my home town, the Center For The Blind is the single ugliest building in town. I have to assume that's intentional.

And yeah I was just being a dick a moment ago.

[–]RelentlesslyStoned 0 points1 point ago

yup. also, lots of people know blind people and buy them products. lots of blind people have friends who surf the net with them just for fun.

This trope makes me weary. I need to start reddittropes.com

So we can really confuse some blind people by just typing random crap. I know what I'm doing today.

[–]deadthoughts 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah you can't buy anything for your blind friends/family online, must be the actual person doing it for themselves.

A friend of mine is friends with a blind guy. Whenever we cross paths he always says "Good to see you" and I wonder if he says it on purpose. Just as a goof.

[–]Rossaaa 0 points1 point ago

Can I be your friend? Then I can be a friend of a friend of a friend of a blind guy.

There are also people on the internet who are not blind, but know someone who is.

I'm sorry, could you repeat that in Braille? I'm hard of seeing.

[–]gnarcissus 0 points1 point ago

I wish I could see what all this fuss is about.

Reminds me of a dumb joke dad told me when I was a kid. Watching some thing on tv and Stevie Wonder is singing. Asks me "have you seen Stevie Wonder's piano" me: "no" him: "never has he". ಠ_ಠ

Here's a thought: How would a blind person go about ordering something online, let alone using a computer or the internet?

[–]TargetMeat 0 points1 point ago

Usually through voice interfaces and Braille keyboards I would guess.

Apparently logical questioning = downvotes on reddit. Makes sense...
