What's with this ad I'm seeing along the left border of this page for male anatomy Enlargement infomation. It strikes me as inappropriate for this venue. That's the kind of thing found in Bulk mail, not on a service oriented site that I'm paying to be associated with. I'm not a prude by any means, but I do draw the line. Any thoughts??

Yeah! Yeah!

Ralphie is MAD AS HELL!

He don't like competition for his: "Herbal Viagra and Swedish Pumps Emporium"

UNFAIR VD!

OMG I don't even look at those ads anymore - but you are right - NOT APPROPRIATE!

It's gone now. Replaced with a different ad. But then, maybe they just rotate these ads. Neglus, if you hadn't seen it too I might be worried about my eyes playing tricks on me.

Oi!

Just do a search for "extagen" and you'd be shocked what...pops-up! Tis shocking what lengths these advertisers will go to in thrusting their turgid products upon an unsuspecting public!

But, as Ralphie reminds us all: "The penIS mightier than the sword..."

That is funny. I saw it but didn't think much about it as I usually ignore adds but vaguely in back of my pea sized brain I remember seeing Pen%S. Glad you posted the image. Now they can't say is was not there.

It's still there, and Vendio still can't find it. Click on "Community" at the top of any page. It's on the left side of the directory.

Can't believe it's still there this morning after being brought to Vendio's attention. This is just WRONG on every level Vendio!!! You can't possibly be that desperate for revenue!

Obviously, there's moola in them thar hills -- ya just have to know how to penetrate the market!

Personally, I'd be apprehensive of limp sales due to stifening competition, but, hey, what do I know?

Ok, so I clicked on the ad to see what all the hoopla was about and I think I figured out how the product works. In the booklet that comes with your order there are all sorts of sexy pictures of scantilly clad young women and THAT is what causes the desired erect...er a effect and they have a money back guarantee to boot.

I think this is the equivalent of eBay's cross-promotions. Vendio may get referrals from other sites by participating but has no control over the content their users are exposed to,

I finally saw it on the eBay Outlook page! I was beginning to feel left out. Wondered if there was some way they could tell that I was an "old lady" and not worth their time.

Hi,

I just confirmed that this site is in our exclusion list and will follow up with Yahoo as to why the ad is still running. We are definitely not proactively running this particular advertisement and are working to stop its appearance on Vendio. We theoretically have some "reactive" control over the ads presented, but it is a beta program we are helping with. We'll get it fixed.

According to the Yahoo FAQ, blocked ads will no longer appear within one to two business days. I don't think we've passed that period given where the weekend fell during this thread. That's probably the explanation, but we'll continue to monitor. Thanks.

Meffle,
I'm all for it. I kinda like the pictures of the sexy girls. Try doing some ads for Vicki's Secret.

One poster to another, sometime in the future after viewing Vicki's ads; I think you'd look great in these panties and this double barreled slingshot bra.
