Default Some of the ads are a bit disturbing...

I'm finding one a couple of the ads coming up on this forum to be a bit disturbing. Sexploitation of Asian women and sex tourism is a hot button topic in the news right now.

I believe you are exploiting the word "sexploitation"...

Sorry, I think you mistook a motorcycle forum for your Political activism website

Chances are, if you are walking around looking for things that offend you, you are going to find them....



my suggestion.... don't click the links.

You think that the exploitation of women in third-world countries is political? As a father of three daughters, I find it disturbing and inappropriate for this website.

Links typically pop up as a result of what might already be in your cookies folder in an attempt to "cater" to your interests. Might want to clean out your pc a bit ...

In any event, its a link, a banner add. Of no consequence. No clickie ...

Worry less, ride more ...

Install Adblock Plus.

It's free and works great. I don't see any ads when I'm on this site.

Requires firefox, no thanks.
IE8 and above has built in ad blocking. Very few know about it.

Seems to me those women are all of voting age (it's all fake dood - those are just images).........I've not seen the advert, perhaps your browser is to blame (I'm using firefox).
