I Saw An Ad For a Porn Site On This Fox News Page
I typed in Bill O'reilly to see about sending an e-mail about the Bush saying "Happy Holidays" during the press conference. There's an ad for a porn site on the Fox News page Google brough up :D

I'm seeing it on the right side
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,135164,00.html

It probably won't show up when other people look at it but there's an ad for me that's for a site called teensvariety.com

1. Fox News is worse than porn
If I had kids, I'd want to block Fox's site.

3. I don't see it.
Many sites rotate their ad-banners based on tracking cookies found on your computer, so they can target ads better. If you've been browsing porn, your likelihood of getting ads for porn goes WAY up.

Speaking of inappropriate advertising though, what's the deal with my local AAR station? Oddly, most of the advertising I hear on "Progressive 730" is either from "red" companies like walmart, or from military recruiters. I swear I heard a walmart commercial, two navy commercials and one marine corps commercial in the time it takes me to drive to work (about 5-10 minutes).

Why don't they seek advertising fro "blue" companies?
