Hey DD, wasn't there a thread awhile back about political ads popping up on the website here?
I know we all have different views but with all the crap I'm getting bombarded with if I turn on the TV this website was a comfortable refuge until this morning. The main ad on the right concerned a statewide political campaign. Sorry for the gripe but am I correct about your policy?

I have the political category turned off in the Google ad settings. So if you are still seeing them, it is because the advertiser has cheated and not accurately categorized the ad. Nothing I can do about that sorry.

At least he's not running a generator during the ad.

Aaron,
I too saw some political adds today that chafed my chaps. Stop being the Flamingo Kid and handle this BS.

Hmmm, I haven't seen any yet, but then I tune out all ads automatically.

He may be able to herd a gaggle of flamingos at once but to make a politician honest may be a stretch even for DD.

I haven't seen/noticed any political ads, either... 
Are you guys talking about pop-ups? Pop-ups are easy to block in browser settings.
Or are you talking about the little lines of text ads from Google at the top under the banner? If so, you're reading too closely.
Like craig333, my brain automatically screens those out (sorry DD -- I know they're revenue...)

I think the ads are geo-targeted so only the California peeps are seeing them at this time.
