Really EvoM, breast pumps?

I understand everyone has a price and wants to sell ad space but a banner advertising breast pumps is just down right degrading for a car forum. Please stop polluting this forum.

I believe ads are targeted to show your interest as evidenced by your previous searches. you must have been searching breast related topics that instead of cars, you got your breast pumps

Yeah I don't know about that. None of the ads I see on this site ever correlate to the search's I make. If that was the case all the ads on this site would be **** and you wouldn't be hearing a complaint from my end.

Garage GT, TireRack, DouglasAutoworks, State Farm, South Coast Mitsubishi... my browsing is, for the most part, cookie-less.

Gentleman,

We have zero control over what specific ads will be be placed. The general demographic is automotive and I assume the dumb computer selecting ads keyed on pump and parts? Or maybe it read the mind of some of our leg humpers? I honestly don't know and will request to have the ad removed.

You're mad? I hope on this memorial day that is the worst thing that happens to you.

Bob..
