Ok, clearly these ads are pushing the borderline on SFW browsing of the SD. I mean, I can exlpain Jessica Alba in a bathing suit to my boss if it appears on my screen once, but some of the Fetish Factory ads are little harder to explain, and since they are on almost every page, it’s not like I can even be discreet about clicking…

It might have to do with your browsing history. I only get ads for books and videos on the founding and history of Rhodesia.

I have yet to see that ad or anything similar to it. Can you email me a screen shot? TubaDiva AT aol dot com.

I have referred this up the ladder as well.

Oddly enough, that scanning website is blocked as a malicious website here at work. They block just abuot everything sex related, and many other things, so I do not think it’s because of my browsing history to sex related websites. Instead, I beelive it’s because my company is HQed in Tampa, FL, where the FF seems to reside.
