It's the one with a girl dressed in superhero like clothing. And it has this photo shopped black girl's head on it and she just had the most creepy looking, shit eating grin on her face.

WTF indeed, though I think you might be overlooking or misinterpreting some things in the evaluation of these ads. 1) They're not affiliate-generated. These ads are straight from ClassesUSA (John). 2) The purchase (or lead) intent of a consumer who actually clicks on one of these craptastic ads when it appears entirely consumer-irrelevant at the ad level has to be quite high after the user comes to a landing page that actually explains and details the information request. If I'm a betting man (and I am), these ads are among the highest-converting sources (lead to enroll) that ClassesUSA utilizes. If your overall quality has been dropping from ClassesUSA, it's not from these ads but from other sources of traffic. My guess is you're falling victim to the obnoxious, albeit notorious level of lead source blending that happens in this industry - - or you know, "transparency". You're being sold one thing and being delivered something else. To your original point though, yes ClassesUSA, WTF? Even if these ads are effective, they piss off the even slightly-sophisticated Web user. As a consumer, I hate that they work for you. As a marketer, I respect you. Damnit.

Its true that the ads don't make any damn sence, and if they want to be serious, they should at least make one that a person would like instead of this crap. I just scanned my computer for malware because of these! When ever I see one of these adds, I think my computer is getting spammed.

Just f'ing bizarre. I almost want to see what would happen if they did a TV ad, but I'd be too scared to watch. If only it was possible for anyone who clicked on those on purpose to be shot in the face.
