Technorati running x-rated advertisement
Maybe its an glitch, maybe its an accident but just 5 minutes ago I couldn’t believe my eyes!
X-rated advertisement on Technorati, The advertisement clearly is from “Dazzers” and that is for sure nothing that everyone should or would like to see on Technorati.
OoOoh boy what if my nephew gets to see that while browsing the Technorati database for pokemon and dragonball related websites?? well he is almost 13 years old, so some hormones will get a run,but his parents probably would be less pleased with this. I firmly believe technorati is a community for every age, gender and race, but with ads like that I do not believe this will remain like that!
Did it ever occur to you?? or have you heard about this somewhere else? And what can be done about it? Any comments are welcome about this strange event!
here is the screenshot I took of it. oh and the grey spots ? I placed them to cover up the juicy stuff… Just to keep my website kid-safe

I think it’s because you’re logged in and your birthday is +18 years of age.
I don’t think your newphew has to be worried.
If you log-out, you shouldn’t see those ads.

Still, I’m convinced that a fairly large group of 18+ technorati users will not be pleased by seeing these advertisements, I personally do not care, but adultery should only be shown when a person does a specific search for it, and not just because he is 18+

Hmm yes….Very interesting, I would be shocked as well to see that, just because you have an account that is 18+, doesn’t mean people under that age are in your house hold right there with you. Ads like these need to be censored to a certain extend and is very agreeable saying that you should only see adultery if you purposefully search for it.

I’ve just checked my account/profile on technorati, and my profile does not say what my age is,nor do they ask you when you register so basically anyone will receive these ads, young and old persons, and that is not good!

Are you serious? Technorati has now joined the ranks of desperate-for-money sites. Shame.

Yeap, this is no joke, I’ve even send them an email to ask what it was all about, but no reply so far, and frankly I don’t think they will bother to repley to it, since we are only small people with very few influence. well if I get an reply I will write an new article about it!
