Just a thought...

I know this site depends on advertising to stay alive but aren't the ads with scantily-clad young women a tad inappropriate for a WCBB message board?

What I've noticed is that if I googled insurance, I see insurance ads, likewise a cell phone I see AT&T ads. What you been googleing?

"scantily clad young women" , apparently.

To counteract the pervasive ad tracking, I occasionally google "Vacations in Tahiti' and get to see palm trees instead of ads for laxatives.

Not infrequently the discussion on the men's board quotes Coach Ollie's statement of commitment that players need to be "ten toes in." It resulted in a toe fungus treatment ad popping up with a particularly nasty picture.

Everything you put on the internet is dumped in the database on you. Gives one pause for thought doesn't it?

"scantily clad young women" , apparently.

No ,but apparently, according to a jury of my peers, I have.

Can someone tell them to stop trying to sell me hybrid golf clubs?

I have more than I need already!

Hey Yank, no worries, if we were all judged by a boneyard jury for our searches/popups, we would all be found guilty, especially yours truly.

20 Years ago it was "high tech" marketing that the ads in my Sports Illustrated magazine were different from the ads in the Sports Illustrated delivered (by mail) to my neighbor, based on our shopping habits. Recently I searched online for, and ordered, aftermarket ink for my HP printer. Now I get ads on the BY displaying not only the availability of aftermarket printer ink, but the pics show the exact part number that I ordered.

Sorry guys. My ad blocker seems to work all too well.

Until this post I never noticed the ads. I always found the topics more interesting, I guess. Now my eyes will be drawn to the ads looking for "scantily" clad young women. Thanks a lot!

I agree, I don't really notice the ads much.

Sorry, even with Hugh Hefner gone, my decaying memory is warning me not to say anything negative about "scantily clad young women."
