So i'm getting into work this morning and loading up day 9 as my usual morning treat to get through the first few hours and spotted something tragically hilarious. And as ones brain wakes up in the mid morning it made me think? is this just a genius marketing plan or some twisted gamer fate? Below you will find a simple screen shot of said event.

[image loading]

Day 9 advertising hot pocket snacks pretty much has as much synergy as world of warcraft and mountain dew! either way it worked and definitely making me go hotpockets for todays lunch

<3 Day 9

Vinx, out

Advertisers routinely target people on websites based on content. Nothing new.

Yeh, it's pretty common knowledge, you should have noticed such advertising many times.

It definitely comes across as being naive, maybe some people will find it funny, just not funny enough to reply.

No one said you were dumb or slow, people just pointed out that it's common knowledge. It still could have been interesting for those who managed not to notice this in the past (they evidently do exist).

Dude tbh if you're relatively ignorant about the internet, thats usually a good thing, at least in some ways

... If you went out to go buy Hotpockets today then the ad didn't work... Because that ad is for Totino's pizza rolls. Now, if the ad was for absorbent tampons... THAT would be really funny.

It's funny because it relates to the topic of how to choose your race in the Starcraft 2 section. Apparently a lot of Terran players watch Day[9]'s stream!

also in defensive of my stupidity i was wondering more if day 9 got to pick his ads and choose the hot pocket like ad or if its a random bit of awesomeness?

day 9 you out there? can you let us know? nm hes probably busy with this launch party. So wish i lived in south central L.A..... i think... idk.... i'm kinda scared of bullets though.
