My company had a banner ad on Annthrax's site...
My supervisor has been busy all morning putting out the fire, she had well over 200 negative emails over it, a hosting service is how it got there and she filed a complaint about them in the process. The banner has been canceled, I'm not sure if it's still up because I refuse to click over there to find out but just thought I'd share some of the drama.

1. Only ads I see there now,
other than the Conservative Book Club are Classmates.com and Lowermybills.com.

3. here's your inherent problem with online advertising
it is not company targeted, a company, say, Verizon, doesn't decide to advertise on Ann Coulter's site, like they might say 'let's put an ad on Grey's Anatomy"

6. That seems to be the case here
According to my supervisor, we're not supposed to be on any "controversial" sites and the Nazi Party Doll is the worst of the worst. I'm not familiar with ad hosting services but this has certainly been an education about them.

Conservative Book Club and Young America's Foundation.....pages look pretty bare.
