What's up with these ads??

Don't know if I never noticed the ads before because they were car related or if they're new to the app, but I don't appreciate seeing stuff like this when I'm browsing the site on the couch with my kids:

I can't see the attachment either but I'd love to know what your seeing. We never allow questionable ads here and if we can get the URL we can block them from Google if needed.

Also, you may want to scan your PC for adware / malware. It may be that the ads aren't from this site at all and be something on your computer.

I'm not sure what happened to the attachment; it was a screen shot. This was not on a computer, it was on my iPhone (the TMS app, not in Safari). I deleted the screen shot from my phone after I posted it. It was an ad with scantily clad girls, one being a closeup. I don't know what the URL was since I've deleted it already, but it might be a good idea to revisit the ad filtering settings on the Google ads for the site. The ad said something like "Are you single?".

In the Android market there is an app called add free.. it removes adds from all your apps. (Must be rooted device, similar to jailbreaking)

I had the add free when I rooted my Droid. One of the best apps! Haven't yet on the Thunderbolt...already had it replaced twice on warranty.
