Aimed at me because of my location...

I had ads for the Confederate flag that only seemed to pop up when I visited DU. Not kidding, just when I visited this site did I get to see the southern swastika. I frequently did not visit DU because the ads were so awful. I reported it to the Administrator but then I figured out how to stop all political ads on Google and, oh thank the gods, they stopped showing the Southern swastika whenever I visited here. But I also don't get see ads by Dems. So, it's a trade off.

For some reason, people fall for the dumbest ads. I know when I was selling retail I would run some dinky cheap ads and we got great response. The ads were cheap and dorky but they worked. And to tell you honestly, I didn't think they would.
