Inappropriate ad

Earlier today I was surfing the forums and disgusted to find an image that I deemed grossly inappropriate for a site that supports users from as young as 10. I hope that I'm not the only one disappointed by this poor advertising choice and have already sent an email to Google explaining how distraught this has made me. If you're still in any doubt, I have checked Google's T&C thoroughly and feel as though this is punishable by law and plan to launch a court case if we cannot reach an agreement. To view the image click here. I hope some more users will rally with me in this as I do find it so disgusting that Google thinks this is ok.

I find nothing offensive about this image. It's a simple pun that many young kids will not understand. If they do understand it, they will not be offended and may actually click on the link. Google however will remove this as requested. But I still this is an overreaction, especially when the poster has "<Narcle> maybe i'll be a tranny" in his signature.

And who's the one starting to think 'things' when reading such a sentence?

Omg.

If you think that so be it. Not everyone thinks it.

Grow up. My god.. its so immature that you would even think of it in that way anyway, let alone make a post saying how "disgusting" it is.

Not really that disgusting. If you act mature about it instead of immature and relating everything you see in life to sex. I can easily say a sharpener is a vagina and a pencil is a penis but I would be deemed immature. It's not really that offensive, your location is more offense then that.
"Location: Behind you… Naked…".

Omfg that means I've been lied to :O


iLol'd when I saw the "Get Blown", it created ad slogans in my head -

"Make a free character and get blown TODAY!"

"Conquer enemy ships, complete missions and get BLOWN!"

MY GOD! Not that horrible though, as many kids wouldn't even understand it in any bad way. Just thinking "WOW ILL GET BLOWN UP BY THE FAILNESS OF THAT GAME! I MUST NOT EVER PLAY IT!" etc. Of course a sick duck like you immediately finds some "two minded" stuff in it.

But. Please do sue them and make that game go away.

not that bad. Only the kids that have actually been exposed to that will understand it. The rest will simply ignore it and look for a auto-chopper they can leach

Was actually in graphics section since I changed the advert from "blown away" to just "blown" for comical reasons. I think my approach made it more funny and it definitely got it more attention and more attention = win, therefore acting like dick = win!
