Why is there a porn ad on my site?
In case you hadn't noticed, there's a new ad over there that, apparently, has a rotating image. When I approved it, it was of a bride and groom with a "tear" between them, and the joke was, if memory serves, something about "breaking" news. Anyway, just FYI I approved the thing after looking at it (as I always do), and it seemed inoffensive to me--but then a few hours later I got an email from BlogAds saying that the image in this post was going to show up on Wednesday. Oh well, I figured, I'm not crazy about it, but I've already approved the ad, can't do much about it now, will explain when it comes up. Guess there's also the one that's up there now--the mud-flap girlie.
For the record, I'm not especially opposed to porn on principle, although I am opposed to a lot of what happens in the porn industry, as well as to porn's cultural role perpetuating misogyny. I am also opposed to the idea that advertisements of hetero porn, especially when the text reads "hey ladies, it's not just for men any more" necessarily has to depict a naked *woman*--since, of course, "woman" = "sex."
So, if any of you are ticked off by the thing, my apologies.
