Talk about poorly placed advertising!

Scroll down on this tragic story about what became of Titans player McNair...a married man having an affair with a 20 year old, obviously unstable woman.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-mcnairkilled&prov=ap&type=lgns

Look to the left midway down the page.

That's an offensive ad placement!

For those of you who don't see what I mean (maybe the browser is different or the ad changes...or, better yet, the advertising system gets a few complaints about how tasteless this is)...pop under this cut

The article tells of a 36 year old married man who was having an affair with a young woman. A woman who had a lot of financial problems. Suspecting that this man was cheating on her with ANOTHER young woman...the barely of age mistress cracked and shot McNair, and then herself.

Midway down the page, smack in the middle of this story, is a yahoo personals ad that reads...I kid you not...

"Seductive Search: Young Women Looking For Older Men."

:Headdesk:

There should be a disclaimer..."Older Men Strongly Cautioned Not To Respond!"

I saw different ads too...someone must have caught it.

This story just makes me shake my head. I'm really active in a moms community, and there are SO many young women who post for advice about the married men that they're fooling around with and sometimes even have kids with. It makes me want to reach through the screeen and shake them. HELLO! He's cheating on his WIFE! What the HELL makes you think he'll treat YOU any better?
