or are they a new "feature?"

I just noticed them a couple days ago. They're new.

They're new.

I'm seeing an advert for all-inclusive holidays to Benidorm. No thanks!

they have not shown up in timeline yet, but probably soon.

They look a lot like human-made plurks so you might miss one or two.

it's gone now. Maybe someone decided to buy WORLDS MOST POWERFUL FLASHLIGHT and they got the last one?

They seem to change all the time.

but I wanted that flashlight!

There was a funeral directors with a special offer, too. Gulp

bad, naughty Plurk.

They have to make $ somehow, I suppose. These ads are far more bearable than the ads on websites that suddenly yell at you if your cursor touches them.
