- mpclark 11y agoYes, blame the publisher. Nobody sensible would allow other web properties to inject rubbish like this -- and it could literally be anything -- into their site. If they're going to do it, they should be held to account for it.
- gotchange 11y agoSince this all of a sudden has become a hot topic eclipsing the subject of the article, here's the list of ads served to me from top bottom: 1) Some shirtless dude on the beach probably on an island in Thailand. (PASS) 2) Before/After pics for a weight management program for a woman wearing a sport push up bra and yoga pants. Not seductive at all especially with fat bulging like this (PASS) 3) A racing model wearing a sexy Halloween style police outfit leaning on a fancy sport car. The model looks seductive but I am more interested in the car (FAIL) 4) A portrait pic of fair skinned woman with hazelnut eye color and dark brown hair color that looks like a young Megan Fox. Definitely attractive but absolutely not racy (PASS) 5) Some rich dude along with his butler in a speed boat leaving or entering a yacht through some kind of marine garage. Looks interesting but not risque material (PASS) PS: I use Tor and this session is all about GitHub and HN so that might explain the nature of the ads served to me.
