    Stupid Semi Smutty Ads!

    I use both Yahoo and Hotmail accounts for a variety of different things, plus I dig through Yahoo News a lot, and nothing drives me more nuts than those stupid ads that are nothing but a close-up of a woman's bare ass with just enough thong to disguise the crack while talking about "cellulite cream" or whatever the ad is for.

    I mean, I use Yahoo News in my WORKPLACE, and it's not exactly comfortable for me to have it open and have a great huge half-naked woman dancing around on the side of the screen while I'm actually trying to do something productive in front of customers.

    It's not so much that the naked ass bothers me that much, or the frankly disgusting computer simulations of a grotesquely overweight woman in skimpy underwear suddenly shrinking down to a "perfect" size four (with no loose skin, stretch marks, etc., of course ) over and over. It's just that those are in places that really have no need for them! I mean, if I'm trying to read about the Iraq War or a local politician, why would I be interested in the latest ass cream??

    When I first saw the thread title I thought you were referring to ads on TV. I did a reeeeeally informal study about sex in TV ads and it was very hard to come by ads that could be deemed as "sexual," so maybe sex really doesn't sell. The big exception was the Black Magic commercial for some rim crap on cars. There's all these women dancing around sexy like in a rap video and some guy is rapping about cars. Sooooo hilariously dumb.

    But yeah; annoying pop-up ads for cellulite cream and stretch marks seem to be making their way into my daily email-checking and news-browsing. You'd think everyone who uses Yahoo is a pregnant woman with a huge stretched-marked belly or a lump of cottage cheese trying to squeeze into a thong.

      The absolute, hands down most offensive ad I've EVER seen was an ad for some weight loss crap. It showed some anorexic, skinny, bony female ass in a size 0 pair of jeans...which hung off it in a loose, unflattering way...shoved out at me with the caption "Just can't lose those last holiday pounds?"

      It gets better.

      Appearing right next to a huge news banner showing an underfed, hollow eyed woman in Sumatra or someplace, screaming and wailing in unimaginable grief at the family she lost in the tsunami of 2004.

      Maybe the whole point was to put me off my damn feed for a while. It worked.

        Even some fashion ads in magazines, like Allure and Elle and Cosmo are just disgusting.

        But then again, high fashion is disgusting. Let's starve girls so that they are 80 pounds yet almost 6 feet tall, let's call one of the Victoria's Secret girls FAT because when she walks, her curves bend.......let's call any girl over a size 4 "plus sized".....it's just SICK.

        Hypocrites like Tyra Banks don't help. On her show, she promotes self loving, confidence no matter what shape you are....on ANTM she is overly critical of the "bigger" girls (who are actually not fat in any way) and encourages the girls to stay thin. Blech.

            I need the option to turn avatars off on certain forums I'm on. I never have the problem at CS, but on this game I play, some girls like to basically just have girls wearing thongs and the only thing you see is their ass as their avatar. Not good...

            Sex may sell, but it's the only thing that I can really get into deep trouble for on my computer. I don't want to be caught with those kinds of ads on my computer. So unnecessary.
