I Saw It for the First Time Today..A Liquor Ad, as I signed in at Yahoo Mail
Edited on Sat Sep-17-11 08:38 AM by Stuart G
Yep Some Kind of Rum Ad As I signed in, it showed me an ad for liquor

An admission at Yahoo that they need to raise more mony by selling liquor ads and putting them in front of millions of young people
So when you sign in you see the ad, and in many people's minds, young people's minds, it is really ok to drink rum.

You won't see them on TV..cause there are rules, only beer..mostly ;but hard liquor, Bacardi Rum, is ok at Yahoo.
Cigarette ads went out of magazines 20 years ago, and out of TV 40 years ago, but, Rum ads are ok as you sign in at Yahoo Mail.

1. I'm sure Yahoo knows exactly how old you are when they serve you that ad.
They've collected enough data on you to know which kinds of porn you like, too.

5. It's not targeted to children, so I'm ok with that. TV has liquor ads.
It's a legal product.
