Spanish gum ad?

Seriously? A spanish ad for gum on this site?

Edit: Also for the record if there's an ad I'd rather not see it's not difficult to prevent the image from displaying. No, not firefox.

the ads you see are given by what you browse, so if you look at pr0n alot you get pr0n ads, if you look at car sites you get automotive ads, etc.

ads help pay the bills for the site, just ignore them unless theyre blocking the sites functionality

Seriously a lecture about specific browsing generating specific ads? How about the geolocation of your IP gets you ads with that Location in them.

I neither was looking for gum online nor was I looking at spanish word web pages.

+1 on ads paying the bills but it is concerning to see a spanish ad.

ive gotten American ads from the south like Texas even, as well as ads in weird languages. i get Nissan Edmonton ads of course but i get alot of American ones.

i got a Spanish one a while ago too, was it in red squiggly writing?

it's an ad. it pays the bills here. does it matter what language it is in? most of the time you will ignore it. so go ahead and ignore that one too...ok?
thanks!
