Jason Whitlock doesn’t understand retargeting ads, shares “balls deep” screenshot in complete disgust to take early lead for 2024 Tweet of the Year

Ladies and gentlemen, here is your 2024 front runner for Tweet of the Year, courtesy of Jason Whitlock. 

16 hours into January 1, 2024, Jason Whitlock fired off a tweet completely disgusted at the fact that ESPN allowed certain advertisements to be displayed on their website, in what he considered to be “absolute filth”. 

Whitlock, who was checking the updated NFL standings on ESPN.com, tweeted out a screenshot of his computer and was stunned at the advertisement running on the page he was viewing. 

The advertisement read “Balls Deep Inside of Me is a Great Way to Spend Your Birthday” which apparently was a “funny happy birthda gift and decoration” ad that you could purchase for a quick $3.48.

I’m looking at NFL standings on https://t.co/mwKPcWYZM0. This is the ad running above the standings. How is this possible? Appropriate? pic.twitter.com/GlMtT3VY1f

“This is the ad running above the standings. How is this possible. Appropriate?”

Oh buddy. Jason you little devil.

Anyone in the digital media space knows that those advertisements are simply retargeting ads based on internet cookies and your search history, bud! 

For those unfamiliar, you can test it yourselves. Go ahead and google a bunch of different things right now then visit The Liberty Line homepage and you’ll see advertisements for your exact search history.  

Companies use retargeting ads in order to bring you back (aka retarget) to the website in hopes that you make a purchase or at the very least, spend more time on their website. 

So that brings us to the obvious question. What exactly is Whitlock searching on the internet where he’s being fed “Balls Deep Inside of Me” advertisements? 

The fact that the tweet itself was left up is pretty funny. Whitlock then tried to explain his tweet in a long-winded follow up that I definitely didn’t read but here you go…

Previously I complained about the below Temu ad popping up on https://t.co/w13KDWaZSg. On my show, I did live reads for and signed up for Covenant Eyes because I want to avoid sexualized content. Porn and other sexualized content are the No. 1 driver of internet traffic. I talk… pic.twitter.com/OnTLElFt7K

Maybe there’s a chance that Whitlock was simply looking for a good gag gift for a friend or family member. On the other hand, maybe he was looking for a different type of gag gift and has been “balls deep” in punishing himself relentlessly while watching copious amounts of pornographic videos on his computer. 

With 364 days remaining in 2024, we’ll have to see if anyone can overtake the crown from Whitlock, but let’s make sure we don’t forget this all-timer when it’s all said and done.
