I cant help but notice at the top of the screen, there are ads for "the L word" and "the secret diary of a call girl". i know this is an all ages site, dealing with what is considered by many to be kids topics of toys and cartoons, so are these approppriate?

It must be your browser because I have never had either of those ads appear on my viewing of seibertron.com.

i'm usin i.e. they're showing up at the top with an ad for showtime.

its probably regional, like the prop 8 ads were.

They're both teevee shows, which are going to be advertised on teevee anyway. I see no harm in them. Anyway, Marlee Matlin's in "The L Word" and if I thought I was gonna get transformers AND Marlee Matlin, I'd need to change my boxers.

Plus the ads tend to be tailored to a users browsing habits.

Guess N_V's been looking up lesbian call girl porn then.

They are actually often driven by your IP address location. Depending where you are, you'll see a different ad.

i normally get that, but when i view my posts, and now when i view this topic, i get those ads. I think its a combo of the topics i've been posting in, so showtime pops up, which then gots to the ads.

I just didn't want any impressionable youth gettin the wrong kind of exposure.

Your ads sound so interesting. I have been seeing the ad for S-Strain forever now. Which would be fine if the series weren't boring as hell. Not to mention it's really being misrepresented in that ad.

I've got a strip in the top of my page (every time) that has "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" at the top.

Makes me smile every time I look at it.

Hon, they will learn this no matter how much you protect them. They will learn about sex, violence, drugs and cursin' the old fashioned way from their families and kids at school.
I learned to swear from my grandpa as he was working around the house. One day the f-word was used when he hit himself while working on the lawn tractor. The S word was used when he was fixing the septic tank.
Grandpa while he was doing his taxes more cursin' than Chris Rock on HBO.
