Tasteless pop-ups..

I'm sure all the young, bright, crystal-clear-minds; and all the pilots and aspiring pilots found it amusing.

(legalize pot)  ::)   geez...

If I can find them (it) I'll remove them. The main problem is that ads are farmed out to a string of agencies from the main one.......

I get to approve ads from the main agancy but you cannot view all ads served by 3rd parties .....


Thanks.

(legalize pot)

that is tasteless :-/

[pete]

The ad wasn't to 'legalise pot' but 'should pot be legalised?' - & remember in many places it is legal .....

The idea was to gather attention by provoking this common debate ....  & get clicks on the ad ..... now THAT is the tasteless bit , IMHO .....  ;)

Or the ad I'm looking at right now. The thread is about marajuana so the ad offers me money to take a survey about pot. I click on a thread about the Mirage fighter and the ad comes up with a listing for the Mirage Hotel. It's sometimes funny what the automated ad banner comes up with in this forum. Everything from free MS Flight Sim (which isn't free by the way) to recipes if the thread mentions a word related to recipes.

It's trying to tailor the advertising to the phrases used in the threads and not doing a very good job of it. Now that I used the word "job" someone clicking on this post will likely see "Job Wanted" websites advertised.
