Didn't you know? TalkBass is the king of contradiction.

I use the Ad-Block Plus application with Firefox so I don't get any ads.

I really don't like political ads, especially for those obscure positions that no one even knows about. It seems like that the candidate for "district 12314512 representative" or "circuit board judge" with the highest advertising budget ALWAYS wins.

Those ads are generated by google and words picked up here at these forums. Talkbass doesn't have a great deal of control which ads get displayed.

Personally, I can't see them due to FireFox with the NoScript add on.

Talkbass is very "right". You should know that.

I asked the same question a few weeks back and got the generic "Our ads are random based on thread topics".

I think FL Knifemakers avatar is DIRECTLY responsible for this travesty.

And the number of gun control threads, too. One of the candidates don't even mention Second Amendment on his website.

There are other sites on the net if you don't like it here.
