    More insulting ads...

    They are showing more 'she wants you to be a heavyweight' ads. I don't wan't to re-start the arguement over the adds, and I don't want to cause a large fuss. I'm just letting people know that those adds are out there, asking that MarkG and DanQ complain (again), and asking that you tell us how WE can complain.

    Should anyone want to see the old arguement, just search the apolyton forum for the thread titled 'XXX Ads' (or some subject like that). Alternativly, just post here and I'll find it for you.

    The next time I see one of those adds, I'll try to get the address or find some way so that you can see which add it is, and I'll post that here.

    Thanks.

      If you meant that seriously:
      The ads that they show across the top of the screen every time you load a page. I'll find the original thread and post a link.

      If you didn't:
      No comment.

        Oh, come on, these ads really don't insult you, you just want to complain!

        Personally, I find the lack of semi-nude women in the ads insulting
        I'm 49% Apathetic, 23% Indifferent, 46% Redundant, 26% Repetative and 45% Mathetically Deficient.

            The ad:
            http://image.ugo.com/UGOHouseAds/heavyweights6.gif

            main(i,_){for(!_||(--i,main(i+2,i["FHhhTBFHdhTBFBQT\2TBF&]zRF$hh*:FHhh+&FBIsbDF"]));
            i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_^=_,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Mark -*/

              I'm quit serious. Let's just say that there are...err..."ways" to not seeing the ads

              edit: I just saw the ad you meant but frankly, I don't see what's so shocking about it. You see worse ads at busstops over here...

                There are worse ads here, too, which seem to be aimed at an audience considerably less mature than most of Apolyton.
                <img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1></font></td></tr></table></center>dont forget that the ads shown here are not chosen for the specific audience of apolyton. the Apolyton audience sees the ads that the whole Gamestats audience sees. The GS audience is more or less seeing the ads that all audiences of sites cooperating with UGO see

                  I understand that there are worse adds out there, but that doesn't change the facts (or my arguements). If you really care, then check the old thread out (I posted the link a few posts ago).

                  I'd like to thank Mark von Wagner for finding the ad and posting a link... I've been looking for it since I started this thread, but I hadn't seen it yet...

                  MarkG, DanQ, I'm still waiting.

                    Sorry, I didn't see MarkG's previous post (it was done at the same time as my own, down to the minute).

                    We understand, but I'd still like to complain on moral grounds. Can you just tell us if it is possible to complain?

                      I'm not sure what you're waiting from us.
                      We have said what needs to be said in older threads, one of which is linked

                        I believe (in one of the older threads) that you said that we may complain to UGO ourselfs, should we wish too. I'm asking you how we can do this. Should you have not said this, and my memory just happens to be playing tricks on me, then can we complain to ugo if we wish to?

                          I dont think we ever stopped such threads...

                          Beyond that, we have already described how you can "officially" make a complaint that we can forward to the right people

                            I don't remember reading you say this... It may have been before I came to apolyton. Do you have any idea on which thread this is, and where/how I can find this thread?
