This is a personal rant. I read a whole bunch of blogs everyday when I get a chance. It is a diversion, an escape and is a means of research. I like actually visiting blogs as opposed to reading them all through my reader. I have noticed an alarming trend that literally bars me from reading these at a public/semi-public location, that of ads with naked people on them and/or large text ads with offensive language. I understand that ads make money and these ads pay more than others, but I also believe that ads such as these hurt your reader count and might turn people like me away from your blog. I rarely ever visit BoingBoing anymore for just this reason. What do other readers/bloggers think of potentially offensive ads?
