    offensive ad.

    Don't mean to complain.. but I thought the dating ads were turned off?

    This one offended me, because it kind of stings to have google ads tell me that I'm old

    I like it!

    But this is a family site and that is not appropriate.

    Also, I love Homage clothing, especially since they make a ton of Reds- and Ohio-related stuff. And yet they keep pimping stuff like this to me. Am I allowed to report this as offensive? (I'm kidding boss! I don't want to waste your time. It's just funny. And completely creepy that all the advertisers know exactly where I am.
    There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.

    Yeah it's amazing that the ads on the site completely link to things I have been looking at online...dare I ask the complaintant if the offensive ad somehow could be explained based on web history?

    Boss, I found inappropriate content in my Google search history. That is entirely unrelated to you or this board and I'm fully aware that I searched the offensive content myself but I just wanted to follow REDREAD's example and be open about this stuff.

    I don't know what it is about this one, but something kind of gets under my skin about it:

    My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!

    It must be due to someone else using your computer.

    I got it last night on my Kindle. No sites I've been to to cause it. Some ads are just there, I guess.

    Re: offensive ad.

    Guess I'll report this one.

    EDIT: I can't figure out how to post it, as its an ad, not a still pic, so I can't open in new tab for the URL. Anyway, its for some game called "Wartune" or something similar, and features a scantily-dressed animated woman, with the flashing words "You deserve an orgy today!"

    EDIT 2: My bad, didn't realize a word I had in there would activate the word filter.
