A VERY offensive ad.....

I HATE this Banner Ad.

It is ABSOLUTELY offensive to us women.

Anyone that disagrees....needs to get a clue.
It is the most stupid ad I'VE ever seen.

Sorry, but it's been bothering me for a while.

HATE IT.....HATE IT.....HATE IT.

I actually get enraged every time I see it.

HATE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not f***KG BackPage.......MODS? MODS? MODS?

uuuuuuuuuuuggghhhhh !!!!

Dont think the The mods have nothing to do with paid advertising on the site. Might want to direct your feedback a bit higher. And good luck with that.

I know, before I legally changed my name to ManSlut I was in denial and hated seeing the word Slut. I had to go Ree-verse Psychology on myself.

Google chrome + Adblock extension work pretty well
ok.....but does that stop it from appearing in the headline section of ECCIE when I sign on?

OldButStill,
I understand your mention of how the MODS can NOT affect the advertising....but the unfortunate thing is that going to a higher source is basically impossible on this board.

I guess I am just venting.......and using my frustration to direct me.....to eventually leave this board.

Torre, I'm glad you spoke up. I had the same reaction when I saw it. Ugh, alley trash imaging.

Man. Competition sucks.

Free sex?! No such thing.

"Offensive content" is part and parcel of this site, frankly. There are opinions, views and statements that are so ludicrous as to make the head ache. BUT...we allow them, because choosing to be offended is a personal choice.

Torre - there are a TON of stupid ads on the internet, and pretty much on every adult site out there.

If you can't get banner blindness like about 96% of the internet population, you can try an ad blocker for your browser.
The TOTALLY sad thing....is that if the "owner" of ECCIE allows this type of advertising (not to mention the young girls in the side bar ALL THE TIME.......only leads me to think....that Pimps are beginning to dominate.

Oh, the hell with it.

I'm just a girl who's intentions are good.....oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.

Adblockplus. Get the add on for FF or chrome. Right click anything you want to vanish and never be bothered with it again.
Duke,
yes....there are much more offensive ads out there on other websites. To each their own and trashy people want to become part of it.....more power to them.

I chose ECCIE because I thought it had SOME class (to an extent.....even ASPD got a bit raunchy at times with ads)

It just doesn't represent the type of site I want to advertise on.

One thing to note on banners, and it may or may not apply here, is that oftentimes a website owner sells rotating banner space to an ad agency and that agency makes the ad choice, not the site owner.

Site owners can control the type of ad say guns only; cars only; adult only; but they may not have specific knowledge of what ads are running.

Since the particular ad being discussed seems to be in that "rotating" ad space, I would guess that's what is happening here.

As far as I can tell, it looks like a quasi pimpalooza at eccy anyway (even if it's not all upfront).
