So what ads are you seeing on the org?

I've noticed that the banner ads are often UK-based, so i'm assuming we're all getting region-related ads?

What's been the oddest you've spotted?

I've clocked one for http://www.royalimages.co.uk which offers the best photos of the Royal Family apparently. Well, probably the best ones you can legally publish! wink
I guese the word Prince may have triggered it?

I've seen one for sports writing (?) and one for dating rules (like an eerie ghost of the young LSR forum).

It says if you like his music, you'll like ours and offers a free sample at the following URL.

Come on, support your org. Let's check them out and show them the org works.

Actualy, in all seriousnes, I saw one for a really good up & coming Manchester band called Desolation Angels. They're a bit like PJ Harvey/Throwing Muses kind of thing and they quote one of my reviews extensively in their publicity material!

Paisley Park Now Recruiting

Paisley Park studios are now looking for staff to work in the premises. Duties include cleaning The Vault, viewing the bedroom CCTV and standing in the studio aimlessly. All posts are unsupervised so a degree of initiative, independence and intergrity is discouraged. PP will pay for all return flights from Huddersfield, should any quality tykes fancy applying for the post.

I've seen a lot of Janet ads, which I'm not complaining about.

Prof. Dream Interpreter?

I keep seing other cool ads just after I've clicked and nanoseconds before they dissapear. Ben's right, they're not annoying at all. They're unintrusive and strangely intriguing.
