The internet's oldest advertisement

I was bouncing around the internet when I noticed this ad. Is it just me, or is this picture part of the underlying code of the internet or something? Those two people must be absolutely rolling in dosh, because those pictures have been on my various monitors for as long as I have been on the internet. I'm not sure if there is a question here but...christ, would somebody just send this ad to the End of Ze F***ing World!?!?! (Alaska can come too)

lol i remember seeing this like 5 years ago, wish it'd die too.

True, I remember seeing that ad for a pretty long time now.

Oh man, I haven't seen that in ages. So yeah, I'd say it's one of the oldest ads.

HAHAHAHA "rolling in dosh"

So am I the only one who uses adblock?

So am I the only one who was on the internet before 2005?

" Yeah, I remember that ad. I still see it on occasion.

Is that as in telephone lines, or image resolution? "

I think you cropped that picture, since the rest says, "Who would fuck these people?" The rollover says, "They'd fuck each other."

wait a second THOSE TWO GOT MARRIED??? 
you win again internet.

It's been around since I've been on the net, anyways.

Yeah they got married! I'm kind of their child. Way to be so insensitive guys.

That shit cannot be real, that shit must be real. "

I remember the pop-up ads that tried to fool stupid people by including fake Windows bars at the top so they'd click on the ad when they clicked the X button.
 
I never really knew what they were trying to accomplish with that, actually, since they still don't care about your product, and now they're very mildly irritated and closing your window right away anyway.

Nice. I've seen that ad online. So it's still used.

That's a pretty old ad. I'm willing to bet money though that those two photos are from completely different schools. And the people in those photos were never made aware of this ad's existence. Probably still to this day.

yeah, i think that's the oldest ad that is still around. i have adblock on so i don't see ads anymore but still.

this thread is amazing.  Never thought about it.  Al Gore must have drawn up that classmates ad.

Oldest Gif. incoming

lol that is an old ad  

I think the oldest ad should appear as an ad on   Guinness World Records website, and if you click on it it'll take you to the record page :p

Not an ad, but anyone remember hamster dance?
 

I do remember seeing that ad forever.
I wonder if they even know eachother.

Waiting for creepypasta to be posted based around this ad.

Classmates.com has been around since 1995.  You're about 10 years off. "

" @marrec: I appreciate the research,truly I do...  But this is way less interesting now that I know they are actually married. "
