Penis Pill ads on Flyertalk
Well the title basically says it all. Just not the type of thing I would expect to see on this 'family' site. If anyone is in need, it was advertising Vimax.

Since this thread is regarding a specific ad on FT, we'll switch it to a Forum where Randy and/or the HOM's will be sure to see the thread.
Thanks.

It's malware on your computer. I saw the same thing on one I was using a few days ago. I blasted it with a combo of Adaware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Both are free. I recommend you download them, rull FULL system scans, and come back. Hopefully it'll be gone.

I found the Penis Pill ads kind of informative.
Maybe the rest of you should be thankful that you're so lucky.

I guess it's true, you really can't please all the people all the time; first Jewish ads were deemed offensive by some, now it's these ads. Seems to becoming a much tougher crowd, RP.

Since the ads are, I believe, mostly context-sensitive, I have to ask: what specific threads (or pages of threads) were you examining when you saw the penis-related ads?
IOW, were you reading penis-related threads? (Shocking, I know.
)

You're telling me that 10 bucks a year or whatever I pay for ad free hides all the good stuff?

I would bet dollars to donuts, or give very long odds going dollars to dollars, that offer the OP saw was a scam of one sort or another. The manufacturers of Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis do not advertise their products in this manner, and those who do are almost always untrustworthy.
