Just found this on the lazygamer site!
If you have browsed a gaming site on the Internet over the past few months then I can guarantee you have come across the sites for the free online game Evony at some point.
While these ads started quite normally with a request to come and play a free online strategy game we have seen these requests degenerate into something pretty extraordinary since then.
The latest ad is seriously pushing boundaries of what is acceptable to publish on Google and really it's just starting to get a little bit embarrassing for the company.
Take a click through to see all the Evony ads I was able to dig up and watch them degenerate into a blatant plea for clicks.
Take 1

what's that old saying, sex sells, over half a million players already.
7 & 9 look like booby traps to me :)
I quite enjoy the adverts because i'm a pervert.
The game though looks like some RTS/SimCity thingy, which i don't like because i'm tactically inept.
Amazing.
I applaud the marketing genious that translated this ...

Thanks neato, that screenshot of the castle with the ickle farms has just made me jizz my knickers :o ... i'm in work too, red faced and making funny noises :-\
I see why they say you can play now secretly. So people don't see what a loser you are!
I noticed these ads too. I mentioned it to my son the other day. I think he was a bit gutted when he found out what the game was like.

LMAO
I've seen a new one, it says 'Play the Hottest Game Online' with another picture of a hot bird, but it's a mocing one so i can't save it and repost it for you.
I like Evony ads, they make me feel warm in my pants ... or i could have wet myself, either way it's all good ;D

A mop bucket and box of kleenx for Mr Failed n the corner.
I stumbled upon this video from a link on GM's video post above. Apparently Evony is some scary sh*t [irl]. I had no idea.
