Inappropriate Advertisement 3!

Inappropriate Advertisement 3!

Sorry to have to post another one of these, but there's another bad advertisement out here.

This is a Heineken commercial, and it's not as bad as some of the others. But it still contains the following:

  1. Brief male Nudity (There's a digital blur where it counts)

  2. Some suggestive themes.

This commercial is not popping up because of an ad tracker. This site is one of 4 websites that this computer is used for, and none of them contain anything to do with beer. Also, I have multiple ad blockers that block tracking.

Gracias

I don't think my question is spam. Would it be considered Spam? - 00ffada9, Feb 5, 2014
That depends on what you think spam means. - ian-hill, Feb 5, 2014
Could it be because of your posts here? You posted about video games and violence, and that would expalin the other ads. I don't know what other sites you go to on that computer. - NikkiLR, Feb 5, 2014
If you had Adblock, you would not be seeing any ads on this site. - NikkiLR, Feb 5, 2014
I don't care about seeing these ads. I'm worried that some very young people will see them, and that would not be good. The ads are not appearing because of a tracker, they are on this website. - 00ffada9, Feb 5, 2014
I think you see them because of the things you post. That is what I was trying to say. - NikkiLR, Feb 5, 2014
Interesting, but most of time I see just one commercial- It's "download our free app" from Sp. dict. And sometimes commercial about learning languages and travels. That's all. - 00b5f6c6, Feb 6, 2014

HCA - I suggest you use the feedback option to raise your objections and not highlight your own preferences publicly here on the forum.

I'll vote for that. There's nothing that forum members can do. - 0095ca4c, Feb 5, 2014
I only see "Anti-Obama" and detergent ads. They know what I like and need. Lol - 00e46f15, Feb 6, 2014

Well for once they're providing equal opportunity I guess. I think the place to start would be to contact the Heineken brass. All those beer websites require that you be 18 years of age before you can enter them. I wonder if they've thought about the ads outside their site?

Why don´t you just use Firefox with Adblock Plus and have done with it? Unfortunately, it´s big business than runs the world and they will always use whatever they can to sell their junk.

The point I'm making here, is that this advertisement is on this site. I don't really mind seeing these ads, but I've heard people say that this site is used in schools. Can you imagine the problems this might cause in school if nudity was seen like tha - 00ffada9, Feb 5, 2014
That is what I use. :) - NikkiLR, Feb 5, 2014
I use it also Julian...it solves the problem with no fuss. - 0095ca4c, Feb 5, 2014
I too use Firefox and recently added ad block - I see no adverts but previous ones I saw were scarily linked to sites I'd visited or language I had used - perhaps I mean spookily because all were inoffensive - Mardle, Feb 5, 2014

I guess if they bother you then you would have to install Adblock or Adblock Plus as Julian has suggested.

Again, I don't care about seeing them. I'm worried about young people seeing them. - 00ffada9, Feb 5, 2014
Not everyone sees the same advertisements. - NikkiLR, Feb 5, 2014
