Since the ads key off your browser cookies, makes me wonder what you've been surfing.I've got ads for Aero shot and a backpack (both of which I googled recently).
EDIT: as soon as I submitted, I got an ad for painkiller addiction, so maybe there's more randomness than I thought. Unless I have an addiction I don't know about.![]()

Hey Blue,
There's a "Spanx" ad running on your site (ran in the side bar) that features women clothed in skin-colored bras and panties. Unless you pay close attention, they basically look naked.
I work in the equivalent of a pirate ship, so nobody here cares, but I imagine there's plenty of readers who are in a pretty tight work environment that would probably not appreciate that particular ad.

hah, now i'm curious what your workplace is. creston's a smuggler maybe O.o
Hehehe. That'd be cool, but sadly not the truth. I just work in IT, but we're in a closed-off room, and I'm in the corner. So nobody sees what I'm looking at.![]()
And my manager couldn't give two shits about what we get up to on the internet, as long as we get our work done.

Which do you think actually gets made, this or starlight inception?![]()

Soo... For twenty bucks a month a person living in a mountain town could see a 1/4 of the movies they could get on Netflix for double the cost.
Stale popcorn and noisy children included?
Yeah, I can't imagine anyone will be going to the theater that much. And that doesn't factor in the concession items either. I go see maybe 2 or 3 flicks a year on cheap days or matinees when it's $5 and bring in my own snacks that are healthier as well as insanely cheaper.

It looks like Braben is about to make funding. ~15500 pounds to go with 54 hours remaining.

I've been watching that also. Hard to believe...it was a 45 day KS, wasn't it?
