    Do they actually have rights to use that picture?

    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?

    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.

    Does to me, obviously iNET doesn't see a problem with it, since it was brought to their attention before, yet still is in rotation. Doubt they'll remove it just 'cause there's another thread.

    Ok so my plan B will go into action: tits and a.s.s banners for everyone on WHT. They surely can't discriminate, can they?

    If you want your company associated with that type of banner, then sure go for it.

    Odd how noone from RackForce has had the decency to respond so far. This does not look too good.

    No need to go far - even though we're off-topic

    Vangelis - "1492 Conquest of Paradise". Just the right mood and era for me. But a trance version is unlikely.

    Wow, now that we had two threads on it, it seems it is in rotation more and more.
    Maybe rackspace saw how catchy it is, and decided to show it even more.

    hehe, I'm sure Rackspace will be happy to get some exposure on Rackforce's nickel.

    An ad like that would make me question using their services. I'll admit it is humorous, but I don't it professional in the least.

    As to comments about people using ad blockers, is that what iNet really wants? If enough people are convinced to use blockers, the value of advertising goes way down.
