Love has no labels?

    I've been reading a lot of boards over the last week and I cant help but notice the same ad every single time in the banners "lovehasnolabels.ocm"

    I typed it into google rather than give it a click, and I get the sense that its a "check yourself" kind of dribble, ie white privilege, straight privilege kind of thing, "look inside yourself and see why youre wrong" kind of thing.

    Its also completely aimed at americans in America.

    Unless I'm the only one getting this banner, why does this website have an American diversity banner constantly on it?

    Surely that's propaganda to an extent? Imagine if it were a Russian advertisement waffling about Russians and how non-Russians should take a "quiz" to recognise their bias. Bizarre.

    Could just be me though! (perfect cue for first post there ;))

    Ads are tailored by google to the specific user. You may be a candidate for American diversity training.

    It could well be! But everytime I go to the after hours page that ad is there. I even deleted my internet history and rebooted my broadband......but its still there!

    Have you tried stopping hating people of different ethnicity to yours? Worth a try maybe...

    I don't know about that.


    It had plenty of labels back about two weeks ago on 14th. The lucky lady got a few nice St. Bernard labels for herself!
