4. Because this website is not a charity. The site owners have bills to pay, mouths to feed,

and those ads put shoes on baby's feet, you see.

If you talk about Koch in a thread, you're going to see Koch ads. If you talk about Ann Coulter in a thread, you might see an ad for that idiot's latest book. Google doesn't "care" that this is a site for Democrats and Progressives, they're stupid, and they throw things at us that 'seem to fit' based on our conversations.

There is a way you can get rid of the ads entirely. You can become a site donor--if you don't have Paypalphobia, it's an easy process, so I am told.

On DU2, an ad involving a large purple sex toy used to pop up with some frequency. We'd sometimes joke about it, which ensured repeat visits by the very ad. Some people would get all "harrumph-y" about it, but it was an ad so lame that it was, in an odd way, funny.
