Website owners beware: Massive Google ad buy for Yes on 8.
(Proposition 8 is the California initiative to ban gay marriage)

If you use Google AdSense on your site, these Yes on 8 ads could be running if you don't block them. My wife discovered a huge Yes on 8 banner on her sites today and was absolutely livid. She has blocked the ad now, but it could have been running for a day. If you see these ads on a website today don't assume that the owner is even aware of them.

2. Gotta post the website!


The links below should added to the competitive filters:

www.protectmarriage.com/schools/
www.protectmarriage.com/four/

Might get them all using:
http://www.protectmarriage.com

From Google: "Enter URLs to filter from ads on your content pages, then click Save changes. Changes will take effect within a few hours." Do it now!

3. I just checked and I don't see any more of them. The block worked.
Thank you for your post. My forum is international and I sure don't want anyone to think I would advocate deliberate and unconstitutional discrimination against anyone.
