Why is there an advert for Barack Hussein Obama all over the Missing Episodes forum? Was he in a missing episode of something? I don't agree with political advertising on here at all.

Currently I can see four books advertised, three of which are about Obama and one about the vatican. It doesn't seem to be a political message, at least not directly.

They are just random Google generated ads as far as I know - I don't think the admin here have any input into what kind of ads get displayed.

That is the problem with Google ads... you simply don't quite know what you are going to get. A few months ago at DGM Live, the Robert Fripp King Crimson site, Fripp made it clear in his diary that extra funds were needed to keep the DGM business afloat, so DGM began featuring Google ads to help remedy the situation. It didn't last long for within a month, Fripp admitted he was upset at seeing rather inappropriate ads on his site and had them removed.

There could be missing episodes with Ronald Reagan? Why do you include his second name anyway, are you insinuating something? |

Or in the words of Hylda Baker "What are you incinerating?"

It does seem as if the OP had seen him mentioned in the Google ads and objected on political and/or racial grounds (we really don't want to start that discussion, honest). And Hussein is a common name anyway in some countries.

Ads provided by google are random, we have no say.
