3. If the answer is that the ad stays, I WILL stop my monthly donation.
Immediately.

2. I saw that earlier.
There are some pretty bad ones there. I decided that even though there was one shirt I thought I might like to have there was no way I was going to support that place after looking at their selections.

5. Who approves the advertising, I wonder?
This crap is geared toward the immature 18-25 age range or even younger, or like I was saying in other posts right wing nutballs. It also promotes rape culture, although I wasn't going to bring THAT up in the lounge, since I don't think they would understand what I was talking about (head in the sand syndrome)

7. You are absolutely right that it promotes rape culture...
that's the most disgusting part of the whole thing.... Absolutely unacceptable to haveanything linked on this site that would go directly to a site that has this phrase on the front page:

"If I wanted to hear what you had to say, I'd take my cock out of your mouth."

I'm so pissed right now.... I'm glad I'm going out to dinner.

8. Locking
The Admins have been alerted on this issue, and they are looking into it even as I type this message.

Please don't get people riled up over something that *is* being taken care of.

Thanks
