Penthouse pet of the year?? (banner ad)

[Apathetic Dreamer]

Come on now. . even I'D get in trouble if my parents walked in and saw that ad. and i'm 21!

i know you don't exactly pic the ads, but can't you guys complain to somebody?

[Urban Ranger]

I was wondering about that ad myself. Computer geek with Penthouse Pet of the Year? What a thought!

[Bkeela]

What's next? Hardcore porn site ads?

[Iain Lindley]

I haven't seen the ad. Where is it?

[MarkG]

connorkimbro, I'll tell you a little secret: WE CAN'T COMPLAIN ALL THE TIME!

[Kwang]

Yeah, but this is a serious one. There are a lot of underage children on the site.

[MarkG]

and what will be the effect to a 13 year old who sees this ad??

Markos is right... what effect will a red X have on preteens and adolescents?

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

The thirteen-year-old will possibly get the impression that women can be treated as "pets" and that it's Ok to use expoitation of the female body to promote a totally unrelated product. Plus, the ad is clearly an offer of prostitution.

What are y'all complaining about? If I've seen one innocent ad it's this one. Geez, I needed glasses to even see there was a girl in the picture...The casino ad however....

[Apathetic Dreamer]

Mark: some of the things you defend just to stay "official" are really loony.

I can't believe you're defending a penthouse ad.

[MarkG]

first of all, it's not a penthouse ad

second, I only try to understand you before causing a disturbance again and so soon...

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

A "date" with the Penthouse pet of the year? Right. A "date". Face it, they're selling sexual favours.

[Narck]

To be honest... the only times I even notice the ads are when you guys start complaining about them

the only exception to this was the pop-up, which was, well, kind of hard to miss
