Also, on this page right now is one (without sound) for something called Bad Idea T-Shirts, which to anyone peering over my shoulder would look like a porn link. Not very classy, & borderline NSFW.
Yes, I'm well aware I can install various ad-blockers, but I've never felt the need until now, with ad content on FT moving way way off topic...
Thanks in advance

Anytime you see an ad that is objectionable to you, please screen shot it and post it here in the tech support section -- or PM it to me -- and I'll have it blocked. We can't screen every ad that is shown on FT before it goes up, so often we can only catch the bad ones like the one you're describing after they've already annoyed someone. The good news is, I've not once had someone say an ad was annoying and not agreed with them
