What's with the "Ashley Madison - Have an affair anywhere" ad?

[Cavum]

What could be worse....use your imagination. Think about it.

Show me a worse non-consensual add, and I will agree.

What cavum said.

Well, since I'm not going to actively search for any...you can disagree and that would be alright.

Agreeing to disagree is fine by me.

Oh and for clarity on your previous post...I am a dude.

I never even noticed that ad until seeing this thread.

It is no big deal. If somebody is in a relationship and truly committed to their partner, then that ad will not temp them into adultery.

What I do find amazing is that sometimes some people on this site sound like blue-nosed priggish Puritans ready to burn witches and stone adulterers. Give me a break, this an adult site.

 

[Dussicar]

Well...I checked this thread out and then the banner.

Now I'm going out to violently rape somebody and you ARE ALL TO BLAME!

I worked for a guy for 3 years till about a lil over a yr ago. His favorite Radio Show was Bubba the Love Spounge. Bubba is/was part of the Howard Stern programming and his main ADVERT was Ash Madison...THey have always proboted themselves as a site for people who want to have descrite ( I cant spell ) affairs. Though it is not my cup of tea those who are going ot cheat are going to cheat.. those who won't, will not ( My Other have DID cheat and I caught her ) It is an AD and I look at it as a commercial on a TIVO'd TV program... I don't like the AD'S.. I fast foward

Let's give a big round of applause for logic!

But seriously. This is all anyone needs to read.

Oh of course, your right. Since this is an adult site, adultery is of course nothing to be bothered about. Thanks for opening my eyes....

If you guys can't understand why something like this can bother some people, then you are lucky....
But Im gonna stop here. Im gonna ignore the ad....

I don't understand why you are unable to tell the difference between the subject of adultery, and a banner ad. But whatever.

The only reason someone would be bothered by this is if they were insecure about their own relationship.

Personally, I laughed at it. I would never let the slightest bubble of an idea like that pop into my head to begin with, let alone from a tiny internet ad on a porn forum. I certainly also wouldn't date anyone shallow enough to be influenced in any way by something so trivial.

This.

 

[MrMacphisto]

All I have to say is that they must have a good legal team over there.

I don't even want to think about the legal hazards involved in that particular marketing strategy. It reminds me a little bit of the Saul Goodman character from Breaking Bad. lol

Thanks for calling me both insecure and shallow in the same fucking post....
I'm not demanding that anyone are gonna feel the same way, but what's the fucking point of saying crap like that about others?
People are different and have had experiences that involves aldultery/cheating that scarred them pretty bad....

Cavum, I know where you're coming from, some don't get it but I get what you're saying.

I didn't call you insecure unless you're in a relationship where you believe your current partner is subject to run away to some random fat guy on the internet because he/she caught a glimpse of an internet ad, and I didn't call you shallow unless you actually CONSIDERED clicking on that ad and looking into it.

Thanks alot man...

 

[kis123]

I didn't even notice it was there until it was actually pointed out.

^This^

I, a long time ago, learned to not pay the ads attention.....well every once in awhile they got my attention. The main reason being is that this is a free site and unless I want to start paying to be here, whatever brings in the funds to keep this free is okay by me.

If it takes a 2inch ad to encourage someone to cheat on their partner, I really don't know what to say........

But the good news is, there is honor among fetishists!

And yes, that was a joke........

 

[ticklehound]

While I just shake-my-head everytime I see the ad, I really don't pay it no mind....

I guess, to be frank, it's not really enticing anyone to cheat.... I mean, I'm not seeing anyone, but if I were, I wouldn't entertain it.... because I am committed.... Now, it does encourage those who are already thinking these thoughts, are likely not happy with their current relationship, or just like the idea of stepping out on their partner. Whatever///

.. Wow, what interesting things that time does for people...

I do agree mostly with what I posted nearly 3 years ago, but with the recent events of the website being hacked, I have to tell you my 1st instinct was a twisted sense of joy that so many callous, cowardly, despicable fuck-face losers who thought about cheating on their significant others could/would/should get their names posted for us to see... .

 

[chicago]

3 years later, I am still not bothered by the ad/site

 

[DontAskJusTckle]

3 years later and I've still never seen the ad in question.

My opinion for whatever it's worth:

<ol><li>It's up the forum admins to decide what ads are appropriate or not. I'm fully confident in their ability to manage such things.</li>
<li>Morality is a difficult topic that seldom ends well. People have differing ideas on what is morally acceptable or not. In some cases, radically different. There are things that people on this forum talk about doing in the real world that I find utterly reprehensible, but it's not my place to preach to them, nor is the TMF the venue by which to do so. This is not the Tickling Morality Forum.</li>
<li>I personally wouldn't do Ashley Madison because you have to supply a credit card which precludes any notion of anonymity. I believe their site was recently hacked, and the hackers have the means to blackmail many of the participants and are probably doing so as we speak.</li></ol>

 

[rdhd]

As far as morality goes, it seems it's the ones that spout about it the most are the ones that get caught doing something immoral. Go figure. And, the ad isn't here anymore, so we should let it go.

 

[Dussicar]

You guys do realize that the only reason why TMF Jeff put that add up there in the first place was to get somebody back who made a passing mention about adultery sucking several years prior, right?

No. Seriously.

Several years prior.

 

[Dussicar]

Jesus Jeff. Let it the fuck go.

 

[kopfhorer]

I wonder how many politicians have used Ashley Madison? 🙂

I've wondered the same thing....

No...wait. I fucked that up.

I've wondered how many obvious sock puppets are obvious...fuck my brain. Sorry. Same world. Different planets, lol.
