THAT'S CORRECT. Morningstar, your guess of Jennifer Lopez has been deemed correct by our professional fortune-tellers.

I mean, honestly, how could anyone think this was a good idea? Asking teen players which of their pop stars will get pregnant first?

Doesn't TNT have enough money to hire someone to screen these ads before they air? What's next? Condoms? Beer? Cigarettes?

Well, at least they have the Contact Us thingy where you can report innappropriate banners...which makes it sound like TnT basically lets the ad companies pick the ads they want, and only remove if enough people complain :x

Well, if Jennifer and the others had just paid attention to the birth control ads...

Oh, so my computer doesn't have a virus. *Phew* I was wondering about the ads. :P Hinhin, I'm WAY behind.

There are young children that go on Neopets. What will parents think when their children ask "Mommy, what's this white box with a lady's stomach?"

TNT have really lost their touch.

Didn't they already advertise condoms? Or was that another site?

I get advertisements like that when I had Kazaa, they are using the Gain Advertising Network I believe, curse you TNT!

I know that they advertised birth control a few days back--but I didn't click the link to see what type of birth control they were advertising--I have a distinct phobia of viruses and spyware. And of disgusting advertising.

Some people are saying there is also an ad for male...enhancement *cough* floating around. I haven't seen it (I'm glad), but I could only imagine kids asking their parents what it means. x_x;

*gasp* God forbid we let children see pregnant women!

No seriously, what's the big deal? I mean, it's not illegal to show yourself in public if you're pregnant, so why should it be a problem if little children see a picture of a large belly on the internet? They're not showing a picture of the actual getting-pregnant act. You can see pregnant women anywhere, would you shield your children's eyes if you saw one in the supermarket? :P

Sorry, but I do believe this can be discussed in the other thread.
