Inappropriate Advertisement 2!

I don't mean to be picky, but there is another ad on this website that is definitely inappropriate. The ad is a sample video from some sort of movie website, and here is what it contains:

  1. Kidnapping of a teen schoolgirl.
  2. Talk of sacrificing said schoolgirl.
  3. Talk of some sort of demon ritual.
  4. Obvious terror of the young girl.
  5. Talk and showing of Vampires.
  6. Desperate attack on the vampire from the girl, which does not end well.

I've been seeing this ad ever since I've joined this site, and it doesn't have anything to my browsing habits. This is something that parents definitely do not want their kids seeing.

Thanks for your attention. Again, I'm not trying to be critical or picky, but this video is definitely not kid friendly.

Gracias

Have you tried an ad blocker? They work very well. - 0095ca4c, Jan 11, 2014
I'm not concerned about me seeing these ads. I'm mature enough to deal with them. A dozen 5th graders in a classroom when this ad pops up will not be mature enough. That's why I'm writing this. - 00ffada9, Jan 11, 2014
Perhaps they should have ad blockers installed on the computers they are using so that you don't have to worry. They don't cost anything. - 0095ca4c, Jan 11, 2014
There are also other options to prevent unwanted adds. You have to be proactive. - dennywells, Jan 11, 2014
Don't rely on the websites to do it for you. - dennywells, Jan 11, 2014

De nada, and I am sorry you have experienced this. I'm asking if they have any type of control on this kind of advertising. Something tells me they don't, but I have asked. - bandit51jd, Jan 11, 2014
I understand. Still, this is a family friendly website, and most kids will be under the 4k it requires to have reduced advertising. - 00ffada9, Jan 11, 2014

There are ways to determine the 'add manager'. It appears to be Google AdSense & their subsidiary Doubleclick. Here is what they (google) offer as options:

Allowing and blocking ad controls guide

If the computer is in a classroom setting the administrator might consider browser add-ons to prevent the adds from displaying.

Could be that the adds you mention are slipping through cracks.
