I'm a little worried about some of the adverts at the top of the website. Got some gay parship :eek: one while posting the other day. As with 'Date an Arab NOW'. Is there a market for this sort of thing on this website? ;)

Gay people aren't allowed on football websites? Or arabs? Should we be quizzing people on their sexual orientation and ethnicity when they register? Run background checks?

Or gay Arabs? There might be a few of them on here, you never know.

I think it was explained before on this site that some program ('Googlebots?') places ads on the site based on the content of the site. The 'gay' ad is probably a result of the 'gay characters in school textbooks' thread.

Don't know about the 'date an Arab' one, but I remember a 'date a Filipina' type ad before.

Makes sense that. Saw a banner for Coldplay tickets just now, there's a Coldplay thread in the music section. Just seemed entirely random that's all.
