Poor Taste at FT
 

The banner add that appeared above this page, a couple days after the crash of the Colgan Air Q400 is
"Colgan Air
Your Official Website for Air! Find cheap tickets for Colgan air"
Duh... Perhaps this is a response to some search term but really...

If it's a Google advert, then most likely it's due to what it's finding in the text.

Not much FT can really do about it.

I think this issue should be in the Technical Issues, Suggestions or Only Randy Petersen forums (there have been similar observations previously, btw).

I was expecting a complaint about FTers posting - but this is not a FT community-caused problem, but an advertising problem - hence an issue for the Host (Randy at ORP forum) or the owner - again through HOM/Randy's assistance/liaison.

Isn't it good deduce that we all post tastefully. ;)

While the advertisement may have appeared in Newsstand, the issue most definitely belongs elsewhere. I'm going to move it to Technical Issues for now to see if/when the advertisement is still running.

And, I'm pretty sure it's just a search term thing with content coming from elsewhere. I don't believe we have anyone in management here that would decide an ad like that was a good idea.
