   Well, about every single time I go to GOTD I get this ad:

   That's my proof.

   I don't get any ad in that position. I checked. Maybe because I have adblocker Plus installed with my Firefox.

   That ad (and some other versions of this tip) appear also in the gamehouse ads that populates their free ad-supported offerings.

   It lacks taste but it is accepted (by the ad servers), sad thing really.

   You should find the identity of the server and block it with an ad blocker or fiddling with the "hosts" file.

   Hmm... I get ads when I use Seamonkey in Linux. Of course, they're mostly for software. I've never seen that specific ad before.

   No adds with Firefox try IE I get PDF documents from Word, Excel, Powerpoint, txt or Images & Advanced SystemCare, The ads are most times from Google by what they think you like so have you bean looking to slim down the ad's fine.

    Well to me I just see a regular cartoon lady. Yeah she's in a bathing suit but kids see worse things on other sites and tv lol. But I suppose others may be offended.

    I don't take kids to a beach (Unless there is no one there), and I don't turn on the TV unless I know what I am going to watch is safe.
    And I know that you can get the firefox addon, but it doesn't remove the fact, that any kid could go to GOTD and see that ad and click on it. I don't want that, and I know GOTD has a choice as to what ads go on to that website.
    That being said, I may be more strict on this than many people, but there are other people like me, and they're not such a small number.
    With Regards,

    Okay, everybody knows your opinion now, before we are getting into a religious war I'm going to close this thread.
    Thewebmaster you are a mod and should know who is responsible for the GOTD site. Please send your demand directly to the project team. PM this user

    Thank you.
