    Obama ads? That's brutal. And I thought the nudie shots of Richard Simmons I've been getting were bad....

  • Political discussion and debate are banned and removed from the 'Yard yet political advertisements for Obama are allowed...seems a little hypocritical

    As Timeport says, the ads are based on internet usage. That is why all of my ads are Stuart Smalley clips.

    Right now on this page there are three ads, one for fingerhut, century 21 and guitar center.

    I can assure you I've never ever been on any of their (or any related or similar) web sites.

    And I have definately never been to an obama or pro democrat web page - on the other hand perhaps it's based on the web habits of the collective TBS membership.

    Are you speculating that most of TBS visit webpages supporting democrats? Surely not. Just out of curiosity, do people other than you use the computer that you typically access TBS with? Perhaps there is some web-surfing going on that you don't know about.

    Edit: and right now my ads are Allstate and Pottery Barn Kids. not sure what this means

    I'm not certain that it must be MOST of TBS - perhaps just a few can move the needle to cause those ads to pop up?

    You're not suggesting I may have saboteurs, turncoats, moles or some other sort of nefarious, ne' er-do-well closet progressives lurking around my home and taking unbridled liberties with my internet connection?

    Perhaps. Although I would imagine that if my ads are based on TBS usage, I would see a lot of e-harmony and AA pop-ups (just kidding TBS).

    I was referring more to the guitar store ads you specifically noted on your screen. Perhaps a living companion is the next Eric Clapton and you have no idea.

    Yep... because I totally have the power to control what ads are here. TBS doesn't select the ads.

    Also... the main reason they are banned is because people cannot behave.

  • No excuses...once I have more consistent internet access, those discussions will be allowed again. However such discussions will be closely monitored. Line steppers will be dealt with harshly.

    I'm sorry to hear that. It will be done before you know it. So far it isn't too bad, pretty busy at work. Other than that, just doing some outside reading I've wanted to get done and try not to piss my wife off too much.

    Back in the day we called them black boards - ironically they were not black at all - they were green.

    Green board just didn't seem to have the right ... je ne sais quoi

    Originally, they were black and made from sheets of slate.
