    Just thought this was kind of morbid and disrespectful that ads like this are shown but I guess theres nothing to be done... :mad: This is from a forum I frequent.

    These are ads that showed up on a thread about a forum member's family member that had passed away.

    Yes, it's very disrespectful but it's the forum owner's job to clean it up.

    Forum owner can't keep track of every adsense ad that pops up on the site - that's silly.

    Well I didn't ask for them to clean everything up but was something done about it after that was brought to his/her attention?

    and what's the forum owner supposed to do? seriously; if you block that ad, another will show up just like it.

    I don't think this is disrespectful. The fact is if you need to fly to a family member's funeral, air fares are generally discounted. Just my opinion.

    It's just the travel company using every word under the sun, probably generated by a program.

    I think it's like when you could search for niggers on Google and what came up at the side? 'Find Niggers on eBay' etc. That was cleared up quickly but there's tons of companies who just bid on tons of terms without knowing imho. It's a shame they're served up on that particular site but hey ho.. that's how it goes.

    If you're have a page that has a sensitive subject on it, don't run AdSense on it.

    Exactly! It's the forum owner's responsibility!
