GEOFF: What's with the risque "FIVE STAR" ads

Geoff,
I remember back with Five Star (adult DVDs) first started advertising at this site, you received some complaints about the "adult" nature of the ads. You said that you had discussed it with them, and came to an agreement to keep the ads vague and tasteful (or something to that effect).
This weekend, I've noticed a few different banner ads from them... with quite a bit of skin:
I'm not a prude and I have no issue with adult sites advertising anywhere they wish, including this site... but I also realize that some people like to access your site at work or perhaps at home with children around and these ads definitely cause problems with that.
Did these just slip by, or has the DVDTalk/Five Star adult ad policy changed?
Thanks...

Hmm, I would think that the mere fact that you were using a company computer for something other then company work would make a boss mad, nevermind the content.
As for children seing those banners...I suspect if you kept your child in a dark basement, with no contact to the outside world and never wore anything less then clothes that cover every inch of skin, they might seem 'confused' about what they are seeing.
I have no problem with them, but then again I am not against seeing scantily clad women, either.
