I hesitate to post this, because I find it fracking hilarious, but I just opened this thread :

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=622931](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=622931)

At the moment, I’m browsing via phone, and my browser does not have ad blocking software. The ad at the bottom says something like “A trick your auto insurance broker will never tell you!” The picture is of a woman, legs spread, getting what I assume is a gyno exam, or maybe just being rogered with a dildo by a guy wearing rubber gloves. I’m on Android, dammit, which doesn’t allow the taking of screenshots without root access, or I’d have proof. The ad has been replaced, but I’d bet a nickel it shows up again…

Oh man.

Lemme send this to Ed.

Of course there’s no one around at this hour of the a.m. (It’s 3 am Chicago time.)

FWIW, I just got the same ad text, except with the correct picture (a cop holding a radar gun), at the bottom of the game room forum main page.

Sounds like a hack. Hopefully a one-off, but if it recurs save a screen shot if at all possible; a porn shot in an ad would definitely focus their attention in Mountain View.

Although that may be one of the more honest ads on the site, because, chances are, your insurance agent probably won’t tell you to get “rogered with a dildo by a guy wearing rubber gloves.”

I see plenty of the ads with that text, and I get the impression that whatever ad company it is just sticks randomly-selected pictures from the far reaches of the Internet onto those captions. I’ve never gotten a porn one, but the irrelevant ones are far more common than the relevant.

I’m not getting that ad, because I’m not supposed to be getting ads as a member (right) but I am occasionally getting a pop under for Netflix!

I’m not, but I’ll keep trying.

Well, it’s not porno, but the ad showed a buxom young lass with the tag line “Want a girlfriend?”

???

What, somebody else to go shoe shopping with? I don’t need another girlfriend.

You should not be getting those. Scan your computer for malware. Follow the sticky in the GQ thread.
