Whats Up With This Ad?

    So I'm sitting here with my kid (11 years old).. he is asking me about the color of digital point and the color of my website. .... not sure what he is talking about exactly, so I come on DP to show him the color of DP again and he asks if my site used to be green as well (as DP) and I said.. um no.. it was blue.


    Okay.. I browse for a couple of seconds and we see this ad https://ads.digitalpoint.com/banner.php?id=6192&f=l&d=1360212608

    .. then he starts laughing and acting like he's going to kiss it. OMG. what the hell. okay he is trying to stop me from writing this. So I will stop. :eek:

    But isnt this a little bit "much"?

    Yes, NO kid should see that. Granted, you see various people wearing low riding pants, still far too much. godddddd.

    Bear hunting is once a year here in Kentucky. Maybe if the ad had some tan line and lotion. But I was expecting that thing to explode and orange juice to start spraying me in the face for some reason. LMAO.

    It's one of those ads that could be considered borderline, but I guess technically it's a successful ad... You not only remember it, but you're talking about it and even started a thread about it. :)

    A great ad! Even got me to visit their website to learn more about their ad network :)D), although not the type I would ever be interested in (I don't run adult sites).

    they say sex sells. lol &as stated earlier, the ad is working.
    plus i'd think that people wouldn't expect a kid to be browsing around on DP to where they would even see that.

    definitely an awkward moment though.
    gave me a good laugh.

    If so, it's not something I would have expected.

    But I agree with you saying it can be "a little bit much" for a kid to see.
    I wouldn't want mine being exposed to that ad.

    Well, in terms of mentality, yes. But age? I'm surprised, really. I expected most people to be 18+.

    Having grown up in Germany, I have been used to more being on TV. No big deal to me.
