Explicit Advertising on Wincustomize.com

Login...you won't see the ad...;)

Other than that I don't see what it is you're having a problem with...;)

I am sure those ads come from a service that WC is using, over which they have no control. I would not take the initial ad too seriously, it is evidently just an attention getter.

While both responses #'s 1 and 2 are correct, Jason Carver is also.

That is a particularly abhorrent word. It is "Over the top" advertising deliberately meant to be shocking, but this is supposed to be a family site also.

I believe a case could be made for modifying the nature of permitted advertising.

Just a historical note - a fag or faggot was a small sheaf of dry grass/straw used to ignite the fire of those burned at the stake. Great image.

The issue of bullying, both online and off is a very real one....and it'd be totally ridiculous to have the comment sanitised to....

"Who are you calling a person-of-questionable-sexual-preference-and-or-a-bunch-of-sticks?"

The whole premise is insult/abuse/bullying so the wording is entirely valid/justifiable.

For the sake of potentially helping just one victim of abuse/bullying I'd rather see MORE antagonistic/shocking advertising, not less.

Aside from that, the advertising on Wincustomize.com is out-sourced so other than conditions pertaining to no porn, etc.  the Ad content is outside our interference....;)

I agree with Jafo and can appreciate the sentiment of the ad.

In the UK, some of the former colonies also, fag is slang for cigarette... so it is not necessarily an insult/abhorrent to everyone.

Shouldn't that be Subscribe to Wincustomize?  Because I seen the same add and I ALWAYS Login as I use Robo Form and it takes me here and logs me in.....

If you look at the ad, you'll see GLSEN in the lower left corner. That's an organization started and run by Kevin Jennings, President Obama's "Safe Schools Czar". Check out this link to find out some of the things he wants to make schools safe for. A Google search on GLSEN or Kevin Jennings will be revealing. I appreciate that Wincustomize is not responsible for producing the content of the ads, but GLSEN is for a lot more than promoting tolerance, and here they are on Wincustomize.

Oh, goodie....let's politicise everything.

If you look hard enough in sufficiently obscure and left-wing/right-wing circles you will find all sorts of bullshit.

The content of this advertisement [the topic of the OP] is not something of issue.  If you wish to sidetrack hijack the thread into political bashing for whatever reason...do so on a blog somewhere....where it can be ignored [by me]...;)

i can't really see the problem, There are far worse things to worry about other than some little banner ad on a website. Not that i see ad's anyway . Thats the beauty of being a subscriber.

I have to agree. The term is clearly used to make a point here (and this IS a PG-13 site).

Perhaps if everyone watches a little more Oprah we can all learn to wine a little more and find other ways to turn words in to something that doesn't hurt somebodys feelings. Then, in a few years they can find those new words offensive and come up with something else!!!

I'm just sick of political correctness and the lack of common sense associated with it.

Now... back to shit that REALLY matters!!

Here, here!  Political correctness has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous, and frankly, I'd like to see the end of it, with the proponents of PC being strung up by the gonads... (0oops, that wouldsnt be politically correct, would it?)

Here in Oz we had a store Santa sacked because he used "ho, ho, ho", for crying out loud.  Yeah, right, like he had three ho's sitting on his knee and they were offended.  As far as I recall, Santa's ho, ho, ho was around long before the slang tem 'ho' came into being.... therefore it should stand and the PCers can go get stuffed.

Anyway, back to the OP!  When I saw the 'explicit' title, I was rather hoping it would lead to an explicit link giving 99% off Playboy subscriptions (because I'm NOT politically correct), but no such luck.

Oh goodness.. that is top of the line grade a bullshit.

However, you cannot say Gonads, Sacked, and Ho, Ho, Ho all in the same post or they will finger you as a PC blasphemer.

afterthought: can we still hang Balls from our Christmas trees without being labled a sexist?

Wellll.....most of us can....jk, Phoon...you're on the side of the angels in this one. 

Yup, true story... A Santa in Melbourne got sacked for going "ho, ho, ho". Piss weak, ain't it!!

Ok, so I get fingered!  (good luck to 'em, with lashings of curried cabbage on board).

So, (in for a penny in for a pound) would I be ho, ho, hoed if somebody fingered my sack, tore a hole in it, and my gonads fell out while hanging balls on the Christmas tree in the nude to deliberately upset the nosey neighbour bitch who spies on my place with a f**king telescope in the hope she'll get her jollies off knowing my business???

X back into *X-Mas.

*Not to be confused with the actual holiday of Christmas.

OMG... i don't know weather to laugh or hurl... 

I DO NOT want to know where you hang your candy canes, what you stuff in your stockings nor what color your tinsel is.

Decking the halls with bowels of holly should not be a spectator sport either without proper attire such as goggles, snorkels and rubber duckie fins. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Elfs just are not safe from a good blast of butt breeze, thus the sheer terror experienced by Santa's crew this time of year has GOT to be enormous. Why.. just the mention of the name Starkers in front of a Christmas elf can have devastaing consequences I suspect.

Has anyone seen my fishnet?

What? You didn't think that was deserving of a XXX???  I must be slipping.

If you're gonna laugh, share it with us.  If you're gonna hurl, save it in a bucket.  I hear bankers are doing it tough this year (reduced bonuses and all), and donate it to the B.C.D.F. (Bankers Christmas Dinner Fund)

TOO BAD!!!  In the absence of Viagra, the candy cane is hung on the doorknob instead. Last year I got into trouble for trying to stuff a lap dancer into a pair of fishnets, so I might give that a miss this year. And the tinsel is ALL green!  Dunno wot happened there, some of it WAS red, gold, silver, etc.  Guess it might've been something in the air.

I did that one Chrismas, but that's all I had on and the neighbourhood 'Mrs Kravitz' called the cops. 

They didn't take me away, but I had one heck of a job explaining the second 'snorkel'

Funny you should mention that, I didn't get any Easter eggs this year, either.  Guess my name (and reputation for odious butt belches) struck fear into his earthly being.

Yup, I washed 'em after wearing and they should be in your sock drawer.

tellum ya was planning a trip to Calif and wanted to meet local smog emmisions?

I tried something similar!  Told the investigating officer the second snorkel was actually to take water samples for later testing.

Don't think he was truly convinced, tho.

He said that it looked more like I was truly 'excited' to be going to a fancy dress party.
