HAHAHA!! I noticed the ad this morning and thought it was for some sort of chap stick. I didn't take the time to even read what it was for. I think some of us are getting a little touchy. If they sell the stuff at walgreens, the ad should be allowed.
I can't access Killerfrogs at work, but thats only because my work computer is from the 80's.

I dont care if it is sold at Neiman Marcus, we dont allow sex products to be advertised here.

If endzone was back, avatars of children would be banned. As long as you got the grown ones, it's okay.

Understood. No sex allowed at my house either.

What about sex services? With craigslist taking them down, you could make a lot of money. :tongue:
 
Oh evil sex. Can we even say the word? My god. Heaven forbid that somebody has sex. Or needs to use a lubricant to do so.

Wow. Talk about a gross overreaction. How sad that some people's sensibilities were so easily offended by an ad for lube. I don't know whether to laugh or roll my eyes.

Guess what? YOU exist because two people had sex. It happens.

Right. So just have sex in an office or an airport terminal. After all, there's nothing wrong with sex, and nothing is private, there's no decorum. As for children, they're going to have to eventually deal with sex anyway.

For that matter, since sex is appropriate anywhere, why not everything else? Just take a big stinking dump in a department store window.

How clueless could you be? Yeah, sex isn't wrong or dirty. But everything has its time and place. You don't fart or pick your nose in a restaurant. And you don't put sex product ads on a forum that's supposedly friendly for family viewing.

Jiminy Christmas, what''s the matter with you? How could you possibly not get it?

A slightly more parallel analogy than yours would be to see if there is a kf.c policy against plumbing ads??? Or Metamucil??? Preparation H, even??? I hadn't noticed one, but maybe it's there.

Many health authorities would disagree with holding back gas and many studies also point to the very real negative health effects of blowing the nose rather than other methods--though "sniffing back" is probably preferable to picking, generally.

Here is some NIH gas info. Note that if your dinner is more than 30-50 minutes long, you may have a quandary:

Gas in the Digestive Tract

...

Everyone has gas and eliminates it by burping or passing it through the rectum. However, many people think they have too much gas when they really have normal amounts. Most people produce about 1 to 4 pints a day and pass gas about 14 times a day.

...

Gas is made primarily of odorless vaporsâ€â€carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and sometimes methane. The unpleasant odor of flatulence, the gas that passes through the rectum, comes from bacteria in the large intestine that release small amounts of gases containing sulfur.

Although having gas is common, it can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. Understanding causes, ways to reduce symptoms, and treatment will help most people find relief.

...

An occasional belch during or after meals is normal and releases gas when the stomach is full of food. However, people who belch frequently may be swallowing too much air and releasing it before the air enters the stomach.

...

Another common complaint is too much flatulence. However, most people do not realize that passing gas 14 to 23 times a day is normal.

...

In addition, to determine if someone produces too much gas in the colon or is unusually sensitive to the passage of normal gas volumes, the health professional may ask a patient to count the number of times he passes gas during the day and include this information in a diary.

...
Points to Remember

Although gas may be uncomfortable and embarrassing, it is not life threatening. Understanding causes, ways to reduce symptoms, and treatment will help most people find some relief.

* Everyone has gas in the digestive tract.
* People often believe normal passage of gas to be excessive.
* Gas comes from two main sources: swallowed air and normal breakdown of certain foods by harmless bacteria naturally present in the large intestine.
* Many foods with carbohydrates can cause gas. Fats and proteins cause little gas.
* Foods that may cause gas include
o beans
o vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, onions, artichokes, and asparagus
o fruits, such as pears, apples, and peaches
o whole grains, such as whole wheat and bran
o soft drinks and fruit drinks
o milk and milk products, such as cheese and ice cream, and packaged foods prepared with lactose, such as bread, cereal, and salad dressing
o foods containing sorbitol, such as dietetic foods and sugar-free candies and gums

* The most common symptoms of gas are belching, flatulence, bloating, and abdominal pain. However, some of these symptoms may be caused by an intestinal disorder, such as IBS, rather than too much gas.
* The most common ways to reduce the discomfort of gas are changing one’s diet, taking digestive enzymes to help digest carbohydrates, and reducing the amount of air swallowed.

Being a doctor, I think I could explain the Metamucil and Preparation H ads fairly well.

SEX in big bold letters is another story, and my current research is unfortunately not in the lubricant domain. Although now I am nerdily wondering what kind of medical research is produced about lubricant in general. Either way, I don't need any patients complaining about me looking at sex sites.

While I understand that some people don't feel comfortable looking at this site from work, I would like to do so. When you are on-call in the hospital and bored, you realize how wonderful it is that the internet is open 24 hours/day.

Thanks again Wes.

That's the lamest rebuttal I've ever read.

If it were an ad for sex...an escort service...a swingers' meet-up group...something like that, then we'd be on the same page. If it were an adult toy store or gentlemen's club, then okay, I'm with ya.

But lube? KY? Astro-glide? It's a medical product. What if it were Midol? Tampax? It's life, man. We're a consumer-driven society, and it's a product that basically everyone has used at some point in their life.

The visceral reaction of most on here is really comical. Admins can (and have) done what they want, but really, guys, this was a gross overreaction that is really quite laughable.

More power to you, though. Good for you for standing up and fighting against the evil lube industry.

I'm going to have to check my diploma and transcripts again. Apparently I went to Baylor and just didn't realize it. :blush:

Wow.

NOT all of us...some of us provoke certain reflexes every single time, cuz we're so sexy! :tongue:

Kinda reminds me of the time I showed my aunt a telescope I'd made with my mail order Edmund Scientific lenses and a tampon I found in the bathroom...budding scientist that I was in 5th grade. I was quite innocently proud of my achievement. My aunt reacted quite differently than I expected.

Sex lube ads are fine. Just not on this site.

Look, this thing should not have appeared on Killerfrogs in the first place. Every site, that uses an ad service, has the ability to allow certain types of ads into their ad inventory. Those types of ads were specifically targeted as the types of ads that we do not want on this site and our ad company screwed up, no doubt about it.

If it was just an accident and the ad ran its normal rotation, then exited the system, it would be unwanted but not that big of a deal. However, if that class of ad and by that I mean sex related ads, were allowed then sex lube ads might be the tamest of the lot and we can't have that.

You have to draw the line somewhere and we did.

If you think people have overreacted then fine, go ahead and think that. It doesn't phase me a bit. Have a laugh and move on, because I am.

If the ad just said "KY jelly", I wouldn't have had a problem with it.

The fact that it popped up with the word "SEX" in big letters is a problem. A co-worker, child, etc. walking by and seeing the word "SEX" in big letters isn't going to analyze the page with scrutiny to make sure it isn't porn, an escort service, or anything else you just named.

So it wasn't the product that I have a problem with, but how they advertised it on a family site.
 
I think you reacted appropriately based on the parameters/agreement with the hosting company and advertisement set-up.

I don't think the public outcry and whining was warranted, and is just a tad 1950's-ish.

If you would just become a paying member you wouldn't have to worry about any ads. I'm just sayin.

Wes... you are not even the so called "prude" owner! :tongue: I think most on here know the importance of running a clean site. I'm sorry that a select few, never seem to comprehend why this is inappropriate for our site.
