Ugh, the howto ad again!

Post by HotDog-Cart » Sat Nov 08, 2008 11:06 am

C'mon ben! This is the second time that I've had to complain about this ad.

That howto website that has its banner on it promotes sex and crap. Like look at the current banner! "08 WHT Video Awards: Sex, dance, etc"

The first time the video had someones privates in it, and this time I'm actually afraid to click on that link incase I get that video again.

Agreed. Keep it PG-13, or at the very least if you're going to post adult-ish ads, cater to the desensitized youth on these forums and give us guts, blood, and violence.
Hey, sup?

I have it adblock'ed, but it still pops up briefly. That could get me in big trouble with my mom. >_<

My parents would probably freak out if they see that! :shock:

Sorry admins, I respect the monetization of the forums (allowing the ads, even), but that could get members in trouble... Just saying... :?

EDIT: I remember that, Hotdog-cart. The "Understand *ding-dong* enlargement possibilities!" video.

Can a mod or admin please respond, and possibly rid the ad of the site?

We don't have anything to do with the ad content. You'll have to email Ben about it.

I doubt that my parents would care if they saw such an ad. They may react, but then I'd just explain the ads to them. It's not the end of the world, although as this site is largely populated by 13-14-year-olds, so such ads not quite appropriate. Whatever though, I doubt anyone here hasn't seen an R-rated movie (or an M-rated game for that matter) before.

If I was home right now...I think that how-to ad would make my wife laugh if she saw it.

Boo-freaking-hoo. Grow some balls.

Edit: Just noticed what site that ad is for and it's actually a really good how-to site. That makes me even more right.

Considering this is a tech forum, I dont want nor need to be seeing sexual how-to ads. Neither do my relatives who watch tv in the same room that my computer is in.
