Political ads
Over the past couple of days some forum members have been seeing political ads on the forum. We wanted to let you know that these ads were served by google based on the viewer location and that google sends us a fairly random mix of ads. We have contacted google and asked that no political advertising be shown on the forum.
As always - we are politically neutral. We apologize if anyone's sensibilities were offended and have taken action to correct the situation. |

thanks!
i had hoped that they were random an unintentional. i have to say i was not pleased to see "yes on prop 8" ads on my favorite site, and until this thread I still had a bitter taste in my mouth about it. not exactly in keeping with U2's message of equality. Google's advertising programs must not be all it's cracked up to be. let's keep those annoying ads to Oasis Boxsets, Losing 12 Lbs in 2 weeks, and Anime websites. That I can handle. I'm sure U2 is in full support of all three, given that they toured with oasis, had anime imagery on tour with them at Popmart (and in the Zooropa calendar) and... er... lost weight at some point? Edge between Rattle and Hum and Achtung baby? sigh. |

I am not sure if you are aware but if you wanted to subscribe to premium membership gold, you would then have the ability to turn off all the ads. Just a thought for those that really hate the ads.

I once clicked on those ads, got 0% on the test and they still wanted to give me a ringtone! Why won't you let me fail?
