Did anyone else notice that one of these new ads on the right of the screen was for Asian brides (specifically from China, from the names of the cities listed in the ad) ? Is WT joining forces with those who exploit women, now? 
Perhaps this #$@!! group of spammers that keeps hitting us with phone offers will accept a trade of Chinese brides?

It's not WT, it's the actual advertiser network that is running them.

Still seems kinda fishy. All the other ads are IT specific.
But I PM'ed that one leaving the phone ads, offering him a trade of an Asian bride for a phone. He not only did not respond but logged out. Oh, well. Guess I should only do business with folks who actually pay for advertising.

He left his email addresses. We could always send him lots of email or sign him up for mailing lists. I like how the posts open by saying that they are a legitimate and reputable company. Sounds like it...

It's Google Adsense on the side (and I personally hate seeing it there, bring back the full screen forum browsing!), it's just how they work.
Right now I'm seeing "Find Your Ukrainian Beauties", must be a WHOLE bunch of them.

Thank the Gods for Adblock Plus.

How many brides from China can I order at once? 
Who determines the ads and what input does WT have?

I was wondering what was going on with the buy a bride adds - its bad enough having a large add on the right let alone ones offering 60 year old lass's with pictures of 21 year olds
seriously though, jodder asked a good question - how many brides can you buy at once?
I have a spare Ł5.27p and was thinking of enquiring... |

China beauties, Russian, Ukraine etc you name it they have it. I can't say it is a scam but it is not much difference from human trafficking.

Now there is an Asian Girls for Love and Marriage ad. The ones listed are all in their 20's.
I bet the ads are based on the page contents and we are making them show more of the girl ads |

No, no, no ... if I'm going to pay for him he has to be worth my money  . Why should the guys have all the fun ordering up beauties? Why don't they have any male hotties that I can order up on the side? |
