    I don't particularly consider myself a prude, but I do have a slight objection to racy pictures on this site (I only want to see those pictures when I look for them, damnit! :)). I often look at posts as a procrastination from work, but I feel like the ad that I saw today (screenshot attached; the ad is on the left-hand side) was slightly NSFW (and I have a very laid-back work environment).

    I know that these are Google Ads so Danny doesn't choose the ads that show up on the site, but it may be that a complaint is in order to Google.

    Well, they could do away with the adds if you'd like to pay to join or have a paid membership in/at this site.

    I noticed that one too. I stared at it for quite a while before I clicked onto the forum. I was waiting to see what she would do next. :D

    I'm greatly offended by this ad! In no way do I want to see that boob of a president anymore. I demand it be removed!

    The tits are nice though. :D

    I have seen this ad before and I thought it might be some more spyware but then I remembered I was at home an using firefox. So this actually looks like a google ad or something.

    I don't see any pictures with the google ads. And they're all about cars, nothing about boobage.

    Is there a setting that controls this?

    p.s. I notice no one has commented about that shot of Becks and his package...

    I see where the OP comes from: The President looks like a deer caught in full headlights ... and what a set of headlights ;) LOL
    BTW: being that close shouldn't have those high beams on!!!

    There was a previous post about inappropriate ads and the poster found out that there was a trojan horse running in the background and overlying the original ads.

    Just to be safe, make sure you check your computer.

    Ecollo is a real environmental/green blog that uses, um, unconventional means (or conventional, depending on how you look at it) to get people to look at their site. They have had some other ads on PC that did not feature either of the "boobs", so I didn't block their domain from posting ads, yet. If this one makes the rounds more frequently I'll go into Adsense and have them removed from advertising on PC.

    If you were offended by that ad, you probably don't want to read about their favorite environmentalist :)

    Is Keeley Hazell Really the Face of the Environmental Movement?

    Perfect choice. With more Keeley posters, we could all turn down our thermostats. I feel warmer already. :p
