Stig Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I know they are kind of out of your control but I thought the banner ad that appeared whilst browsing the site was a bit controversial... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p858snake Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think you will find that most companies deliver the ads based on what is searched for on the computer and neowin would probly have a very minimal control over what is displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duritz Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I have had an interesting one: "Looking for your chubby lover? head over to www.xxx.com and start chatting" And there were two chubby men next to each other. didn't get a screen shot but it was hideous.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted July 1, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 1, 2008 lol... "detect gays near you"... you know... since gays emit a specific frequency it picks up on... Presumably it would pick up on other cell phone users that have opted in to the same service and self-identified themselves as gay (well, for it to have any chance of working). Quite possible the unclassiest word to use. "Gaydar" Well, it is commonly used within the gay community. Maybe I have slutty gay friends. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I have slutty gay friends. :D Unfortunately I can assure you that the gaydar has a very bad success rate, and it is made worse with this 'meterosexual' trend. Before picking out a gay guy was like identifying an elephant in the room, now it is alot more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian M. Veteran Posted July 1, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 1, 2008 The best ad I've ever had was along the lines of: "Better than sex, the new Sony X series televisions... Buy now!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C++ Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Is this like for gays in training? Something to test your female intuition against? Because I thought experienced homosexuals usually develop biological gaydars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen that ad above one of my blog entries (about how the story of Sodom doesn't condemn homosexuality) and it was quite hideous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
