Cute Babe in Skivvies - Ad on Talkbass?

Sign in to disble this ad
The Flea+Gallien Kruger ad or the Bass Place banner here on Talkbass makes a ton of sense. Bass gear + bass players = happy advertisers.

The St. Ives lotion ad featuring a mostly undressed cute babe makes me wonder. While I support the presence of any and all women in states of undress, I more curious as to why this ad is here on talkbass.

Bass Gear + Moisturizer = ?

Assuming its a highly targeted digital network ad (served here based on a complex algorithm and advanced behavioral metrics). Are folks here heavy users of hand lotion?


Oh. Wait a minute. Forget I ever mentioned it.

TB doesn't directly control which ads get displayed here.

Wouldn't this question be more appropriately addressed directly to the Admin?
Not sure why we have a thread discussing the merits of commerical ads on TB.

I don't find it particularly provocative or even questionable. She is more fully dressed than many ads. It's winter, hands dry out. I have my wife message lotion into my hands all the time. Feels good.
