It is to bad that there has to be policical banners on this forum. We have to endure enough b.s. ads on the tube. Politics belong in this section of the forum.

What banners? Mind you within reason I'd take most folks cash.
Massachusetts has their special election tomorrow for Ted Kennedy's seat and the Boston airwaves have been saturated with ads. I haven't seen the ads here but I may be filtered out because Comcast only gives me an address from their NH head ends.
Since the google sniffer just scans text for key words, I suspect there might be a thread that mentioned (say) politics in Kenpo, and then displayed an ad for Scott Brown or Martha Coakley.
Would it be fair to suggest waiting until Wednesday and then checking again to see if the issue is persistent?

Like Bob said what banners? I just scrolled through and I did not see a political banner on MartialTalk. However, if one of the political parties was interested in advertising here I would be the first one to encourage Bob to accept there offer so that MartialTalk could continue and be prosperous.

I'm guessing you can only see them if you have a Massachusetts IP address.
So more like google ad banners but not MartialTalk banners?
It sure sounds to me like these are Google ad banner

If it's Google related, I've got minimal control over those.
Disabled my ad blocker for MT so I can see what Googles serving up.
ok, 50 refreshes later I saw 1 political ad "Who's to blame...". Most were for local MA resources, some weight loss and a couple phone ads.
I'd guess that Google's doing some geo-specific ad serving and given the current heated Senatorial race in Massachusetts that you're getting hit based on that. I'd expect it to taper off in a couple days.

Ah thanks. Was not one put there by me, and it's in the Google feed. If anyone finds an objectionable ad in that I need the full web address that it goes to and I can investigate and try blocking it.
