Online Advertisements

It seems like every time I get online I see new advertisements, and they are always being pushed to the limits of morality.

You can't be online for more than a minute or two without seeing ads with pictures of 21 year old girls, captioned, "find girls in or around [your area]"--it must look up your IP and figure out your city.

I just noticed that www.woot.com has a match.com ad that I've never seen.

It apparently is supposed to look like a live web-cam in some girls room. It shows her putting up her hair, and then sitting at her computer, chatting, and loving life. I know it isn't nearly as risque as some advertisements online, but for some reason it just rubs me the wrong way (no pun intended).

Anyone else feel like many advertisements on the internet are just wrong?
 
It is getting bad - I have two little girls, and every time we're surfing together or looking up parts, a match.com or true.com etc etc ad comes up with a girl barely wearing anything. I don't want my girls to see that.

Yeah thats what I mean.
I don't find any of it offensive, but I could see how a lot of people would.
 
Those adult friend finder ads are usually on less popular websites - i.e. video sharing sites other than YouTube. The bigger and more mainstream sites seem to hold themselves to the same standards that broadcast TV is held to.

I love the ads for that "True" matchmaking site, although I don't know how "Tru"thful they're being about the hotness of the women on their site. 😉

those true.com ads are funny because 99% of them are obviously photoshopped its not funny. like one has a woman with photoshopped breasts to make them look bigger.
