What ever happened to ad content quality standards? I know they exist because I have been both an advertiser and a content publisher. As an advertiser I had to comply with certain standards to fit into a criteria for certain target websites. Although these standards usually only restricted adult content and profanity, the content publisher has even more control by blocking certain ads from appearing. I thought the system worked fairly well until now.

Are we now too sensitive to bogus diet ads to block them? Am I the only one who finds this distracting and distasteful? At the very least they could have put a little more effort into the design of the ad. In any case, I hope content publishers will find these soon and start blocking them. I also hope that bogus dieting companies will find better ways to trick me into shelling out a monthly fee (if I ever require their services). Until then, I’ll just have to try harder to ignore it.
