Youthnoise,
Recently I scrolled a bit too far down a page and was greeted by 4 advertisements staring back at me as follows:
Meet latin women
Date online
Meet Russian Women
Russian Mail Order Brides

Are you guys condoning the 3 sites that are trying to hook people up with a mail order bride? These women are often abused and treated like slaves, I don't think you should be advertising that on here, just my 2 cents.

No kidding. I need one. NOW.

My teenage hormones are overwhelming my control of my sex drive. Wait, I'm humping my desk. Someone stop this and allow me to order my bride! I demand my bride!

Victoria Secret ads!!!!!!!!!! if anyone dissagrees with me you either have bad taste in clothing or don't like hot girls.

We found them and we have contacted Google. Thanks for bringing these to our attention. We will work to remove these and replace with more relevant ads going forward.

Ginger

Does IndianMatrimonials.com count? I think so. You know where I found it? Just now i scrolled down to the bottom of this thread. It seems like a bride search and says Looking for ____ Between ____ and _____
"Free Search" "Free Contact" "Free Photo Profile" "Free Registration"
I am disappointed but I know its not YNs fault...

Bauhaus:
I like hot women too, and I've looked into buying Celtic as a mail order bride (alas she is not for sale), but I don't think that everyone on here is into this sort of thing and many are actually quite against it.

Hi,

The ads are dynamically generated according to content on the page, but the dating and "meet ___ women" types of ads certainly should not be appearing on YN! I've yet to replicate what you've seen, but am looking into the issue immediately.

Thank you so much for reporting this. If anything else odd crops up, please let us know.

I am looking at one right now called "cherryblossoms.com" To be fair, I don't know how much control, if any, youthNOISE has over the type of adds on the site. I understand that the money from the adds are used to keep the site running and that is fine, but maybe a little discression is in order.

Agreed, I saw one once on Meet Asian women. This would be OK if this was at least an adult site, but most people here are under 18.
