Interesting observation about ads on DU...

This isn't a knock on DU, but it's interesting what attention DU gets from elsewhere in the world.

Sometimes I access DU using the Opera VPN's Europe Virtual Location. I do that so when there's a Washington Post or NY Times link I can access it since I don't subscribe to them.

Anyway, using the Europe Virtual Location, all the ads are in Russian!!! If I switch to Americas or even Asia (the other two VPN options) they're all English.
