sorry. Posted this without adding my comment. How is this ad relevant to the content on this page? Isn't there supposed to be some intelligence in how these are placed?

Ask and ye shall receive... |

Allow me. Banner ads? What are these banner ads of which you speak? I've never seen a banner ad here, although I do use Firefox so that might have something to do with it.

Actually, this is an example of an ad that is served based on a user's browsing history. This is becoming a common practice in the banner ad industry. For example, if I visit a site like MLB.com and then come here, I might see a baseball-related ad. If somebody else was on NFL.com instead, they'd get football content. It's a way to make sure the ads are relevant to the user's interest.
In this case, the ad you're talking about is only served to people who've previously viewed lip-fetish porn sites. So... hope that clear everything up.

What's hilarious is, I don't see the image in the main post. This must be from a source I've previously blocked.
