political ads on sprite stitch board/blog

youll notice the ads are now gone. I apologize I didnt see them until tonight, I was at work teaching all day.

I'm quite dissapointed in google for allowing those ads, and extremely unhappy that they were displayed on my site.

I can only hope that you all will not take offense to them, and that you do not blame me, but instead blame google for their unfortunate greedy choice.

I signed up for the program under the impression that I would get ads that targeted my readers based on our topics of discussion (ie video games and crafts) and not political campaigns. I would be offended even if it was a proposition I supported. and when it happened to be the one proposition that I feel the stronger about in my history as a voter than anything else I have ever voted for (10 years of voting now)...thats just the icing on the cake.

thanks for your understanding (regardless of your opinion on the issue).

I completely missed something...
But I'm glad you got it figured out and fixed.
Shame on google!!

odd enough, I have seen some ads time to time on forum, but never see any political ads.

I did not see ads for California here. Here in Ohio, I've been seeing a few political ads for our gambling issue, but most of the things I've seen have not been politics (on your site).

I know someone who runs a site that has ads, and he specifically did not want the buzzer ads or iPods ads and removed a company that put ads like that on. Yes, it wasn't Google, but still........

"CONGRATULATIONS. youve won a free ipod!" that stupid ad makes me want to punch my computer.
