It's not the end of the world, although as this site is largely populated by 13-14-year-olds, so such ads not quite appropriate. Whatever though, I doubt anyone here hasn't seen an R-rated movie (or an M-rated game for that matter) before.
My parents would. Even if I explained it to them, they would think I'm going on these "sex sites" and might ban me from my laptop for a month or so.

BTW, they've never let me watch an R-rated movie.

Yeah, I'd agree that it's inappropriate. I understand that Ben's trying to take a chunk out of the bill here, but there's a certain level of hypocrisy in me not being able to drop an f-bomb but at the same time I can click on a link at the top of the page and learn some new positions. :lol:

I actually clicked on it and it brings you to the awards page. From the sex page there are videos like "How to Last Longer in Bed" or "How to talk dirty". Meh my parents don't really care they have seen in and they just asked what it is and I told them then they were fine.

My parents rule is like a no porn or suggestive theme policy, basically. I already got in crap for the ad and was told not to go back to the website.

Further proves my point it could put members into trouble. -_-

EDIT: On FireFox, right-click the ad and then hit "Block Images from *****." I did that just to hide the ad. I don't want my parents seeing that!

So why are we still chatting about it? Shouldn't we be emailing Ben?

There is already a solution. Read the above post. I agree it could get people in trouble, but when there are ways to make it not even show up, there is no point in complaining.

I think Google need to update in a adblock software for Chrome.

Who knows if the Namco Portable will ever become a reality? :P

I think we should pitch in for server costs.

I think people should stop using it. :P With all the key logging stuff it does, it doesn't seem like the smartest idea. Especially if a Trojan of some sorts gets into your computer, and it just reads the key logs from chrome?

I thought Ben said he wouldn't let us?(and he did set up that site with the clothing and stuff.)

And where does Google's money come from? It just doesn't make sense for them to make an ad-blocker.

Ahem. Before I close this topic, I would once again like to remind people that WonderHowTo pays for their ads to appear, which helps keep the site running on the expensive server you all begged for back in the day.

You may have noted in the past that our podcasts and lately new movie aren't exactly PG Disney material either, so who cares?

These new ads only run until the 14th anyway.

Send me a check to cover server costs and I'll run whatever images/ads/pictures of kittens you want. Otherwise, deal with it.
