I just went there thinking the ad was a link to a parody site. Nope; it's the real deal and they are talking about killing liberals and atheists over there.

I know I need to donate so I don't see them, but it would be nice if at least this one could be filtered.

1. That ad is targeted directly at you, personally, based on your porn-downloading habbits. n/t

2. It's Google, not anyone on DU.
Certain keywords cause different types of ads to appear. Unfortunately, they are often of a sort that people do not appreciate.

3. I don't see it...
Is it one of those ads we don't see if we have a donor star?

4. If I'm not mistaken
the ads are automated.

9. Actually, it's part of a Cunning Plan
to extricate money from the opposition without providing any benefit whatsoever.

Is anyone going to go to FoxNation.com to see what they advertise there and buy it?

10. ad content is pegged to words used on our site--If you say I hate FOX
they pick it up for the ad rotation.

Donate a few shekels, and the ads go away.

11. Did you click?
Every time you click an ad, an angel gets her wings.
