I go to check the forums tonight, and I see an ad that was a bit disturbing.

I realize this is a legitimate treatable medical condition, but do we really want 'graphic' ads like that? I don't want to have a moral discussion on how we should be donating to the treatment of such problems, I'm just wondering if perhaps that ad isn't one we need on our site.

Edit: I'm debating this with a friend of mine and she has no problem with the ad and doesn't see why I have an issue with it. So if nobody else has problems with it that is fine, I'll accept leaving it if everyone else likes it.

Edit2: I made the link clicky since I thought posting the pic in a thread where I complained about it wasn't the greatest of ideas

I'm not sure if this campaign is part of those that go to social announcements but I'm going to check it out.

Edit: Ok, it was one of the charity ads and apparently it barely showed a dozen of them.
I have to agree with SNGX, it's a bit too on your face for a hobbyist site like this one, so I have removed it from rotation.

I agree, that that banner is a little disturbing and might upset some people. Though I guess that`s what it`s designed to do.

Yeah that ad made my eyes hurt, I wouldnt mind if you took the ad off because I disable all ads on Firefox

I saw it too, and it's a little off.
