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

Re: offensive ad.

I like it!

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

Re: offensive ad.

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.

Re: offensive ad.

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?

Re: offensive ad.

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.

Re: offensive ad.

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

It must be due to someone else using your computer.

Re: offensive ad.

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

I watched the 30 for 30 on him. Tragic story.

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.
