    Default Inappropriate Adverts...

    How do?

    Couldn't find the original thread (went back 5 pages, started to feel threadomantastic, so stopped there)....

    But seeing some curious ads popping up again.

    One was by Godtube, offering to tell me 'how same sex marriage will affect you (so me)' I suspect 'well, not at all' isn't the answer they had in mind.

    And another? Getting Divorced? THEN SELL YOUR HOUSE!!!! 1) Very bad advice. 2) Not a home owner 3) Haven't even got a girly, let alone wife. So cannot divorce.

    Any other crackers being spotted?

    Yep me too, plus a load of Chinese girls looking for husbands, typically I also get tons of sports supplement adverts which actually I don't mind.
    At the moment it's something called zendesk, no idea what that is.

    I keep getting the one that says "If you have a DUI and want to immigrate to Canada, call us for legal help".

    1. I don't have a DUI.
    2. I don't even want to leave my couch, let alone my country.

    inappropriate adverts on tv, the flora one with the kids making toast and the parents 'wrestling' so very wrong.

    Nothing wrong with threadmancy, where it's better than starting an identical new thread.
    Or you have something new to expand the old one...

    However the process of robo-insemination is far too complex for the human mind!

    I wouldn't say it's wrong. You never see or hear anything, kids just think its funny, almost all adults will have had that happen to them at some point (either as the child or the parent) so what is wrong with playing up to the anecdote? If they had had a foreground shadow or a shot of the bed covers moving about, then I'd agree.

    It's far more tasteful than posters for jeans or clothing companies where all you can see are the hips and up of a topless man, or perfume ads where all you see is a naked woman walking away from camera in shadow, which is all that is required for prime-/day-time airing. Admittedly the major channels don't necessarily, but it's not like you have to search through too many to find ones that do.

    Oho!!!

    Now I'm being offered Lesbian dating....

    Now call me old fashioned, but one suspects I'd be even less successful in that scenario than I normally manage!
