I feel as though this ad is well known enough to be a meme entry. Plus, there are plenty of Youtube videos parodying it. What do you guys think?

Sure, why not? As this is one of the most famous ads in internet history and we already have entries about other ads, i don't see why there shouldn't be an entry about this one.

We have entries for the infamous nigerian prince scams, so sure why not.

Yep. I think those kinds of overused ads are meme worthy.

Is this just the one that says "congratulations, you won." out loud?
Or does it include those obvious scams that say you've "won" since you're the millionth visitor or something, generally in all caps, comic sans, and seizure inducing rapidly changing bold colors for the text and background?

Damn this brings back real old memories.

200% confirmable meme.

How many times have you been the millionth visitor on YouTube?

I actually miss these things. Nowadays you have to watch a whole commercial just to access certain pages. And it's usually something you're not likely to want or need, like some shady life insurance policy.

Any of them that relate to winning a prize but is actually a virus.

Here is the entry, Feel free to give me any feedback.

How would y'all feel if we made an "internet advertisement" category and documented some of the more memorable examples, like those minigame ads that were big back in 2007-09? Examples include "Punch Out Osama Bin Laden" and "Help Bush Out-lift Arnold."

Don't forget those "PLAY ROBLOX FOR FREE ON GAMEPICKLE.COM"

Funny thing is is that i think Game Pickle is a real site.
