Default Potentially NSFW ad

There's an ad circulating (vjworld.com) that isn't totally unsafe for work but I wouldn't be too pleased if my manager came up behind me while it was on the screen. This would be the one I'm talking about:

If your boss notices it, just say "That's nothing!" and show him the hottie draft thread.

I haven't seen it in the rotation personally, has any one else seen it? Just to check if it's actually in the rotation or if something weird with your computer rubecube.

Only things I can suggest is to either arrange your window in such a way that the top portion isn't visible or PM Bingo about the ad as he's the one that handles the ads.

I saw it a couple times this morning. Probably only noticed it because of this thread.

I've seen it before. I'd hate to see CP fail to get through the company's filters.

Alright well the only thing I can suggest then is to PM Bingo about it and let him know that that particular ad is a bit racy, or try to manage it on your end so it doesn't get you in trouble.

I doubt that ad would run afoul of a work filter though. It is pretty mild, all things considered.

Bah! Just be happy that it isn't the same ad just VDworld instead!

P.S. why is it gray around the CP logo in the top left of your screen?

That's a PNG bug in Internet Explorer. There's a bugfix out there for it, I should probably change it to a GIF though I guess.
