You may be tired of seeing it TC but if threads like this keep coming up, they certainly won't change it.
This has been one of the most talked about, and probably one of the most clicked on banners they have had at WHT.

Good, then I'm sure it's going to cost them a month's worth of clicks.

I like it, it's atleast a lot more witty than the other crap + it shocks (or pisses off) some (conservative) people.

Eric, I am not conservative. But seeing a fat a.s.s popping on my screen while I am at work won't be exactly appreciated by whoever happens to walk by.

So why stop at the a.s.s? I want to have a banner then with a nice "rack" of hooters.

Would be a nice one too (the one with a nice rack of hooters).
What's wrong with curvy women?

Anyway i'm probably used more to this since we (most parts in europe) don't have any problem with nudity in advertising (or nudity in general).

I wonder if Janet is willing to pose for a banner ad?

See you should be in charge of marketing.

You guys think it's funny, I don't. What will iNet do when I send them my banner showing nipples and a butt-crack? The punchline will be:

"We got milk and cookies - webhosting is the cherry on our pie".

Just use a browser like firefox with one of their adblock extensions installed and you can remove the whole banner area. Works excellent.

So I should:

1. Use Firefox instead of my browser of choice
2. Block ads

..instead of iNet reviewing the banners for suitable content.

Makes no sense to me.
