Poll: Porn ads? Really?

Pubclub members Assemble! Save the HD videos! and the marginal discounts for merchandise!

So, you're saying you turned down porn ads, to be able to look at giant ass videos?

If that's wrong, then I don't want to know what's right.

I'm not a very complicated man.

You're saying you prefer looking at giant crispy videos, and HTML5 videos, and to be able to access the website from a mobile phone, and get enormous avatars, and have bonus content and who knows what else. Instead of having porn ads.

You people are broken.

I think that watching Paul Saunders in HD counts as porn by any definition. So yeah.

You! And you...make a very good point actually. But I don't know that, as I haven't experienced it. You may be lying to me.

It doesn't bother me that much, but I brought this website up during a break in class, and the teacher caught the adds and told me to go to a different site.

OT: Pubclub master race!

Assemble!

I shall Join you, comrade!

OT: I'm guessing it's just context-based ads, not any serious effort by the Escapist to advertise porn.
Though perhaps, through some partnership with SugarDVD, Pubclub members got a special discount...
No! Bad thoughts, smearyllama, bad thoughts!

 

[Dragonclaw]

Ironic that these ads are working VERY well since so many of us are talking about them in multiple threads

Yep. Don't see a problem with that. It is great HD.

Indeed, it is I! Is that something special?!

YEAH! Those are horrible thoughts! Who would possibly think that porn is good!? It demeans women and...pizza delivery guys...and....

But you know, if there was such a program, I'd like to know about it...for a friend of course!!!

Funny...that's the ad at the bottom of this page right now. Doesn't bother me at all...much rather see some eye candy than a UPS ad, doesn't mean I'm going to click on it but I don't object to it being there.

That's how content sensitive ads work. I seem on several sites I visit, just it's usually not porn that's either on the ad or the site. Some company or something managed to sneak this is in is all.

OT: I'm sure if people decided to directly tell the Escapist about the ads, they would take action much quicker than posting threads about it... if only there was a way to contact them directly, hmmm, no I don't that exists at all...

For now I'll just bask in my (temporary) pub club membership. *basks*

1.get ad-blocker
2.turn it on
3.???
4.profit

also, better than a shitty UPS logistics ad

Advocating adblocker is against the rules.

Prepare yourself for a warning.

You know daystar, I think the pubclub is actually missing out on this one, thanks to things like this:

Spoiler: I only read it for the articles, I swear!

 

[unoleian]

Given this site's reach and audience, the ads are in very bad taste.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Oh, save us from the evil porn banners! Won't someone please think of the children?!

An advertiser has obviously made a mistake somewhere. That's it. Cool yer tits, people.

 

[feeback06]

Since it is game related technically, then I really don't have an issue with it. Now if it was saying something like "BARELY LEGAL TEENZ READY TO BLOW!!!11!" that would be a different story...

Porn adds on The Escapist

Hypocriticism at it's finest.
