I see that advertisements for tombola drums and raffle tickets are still up in the UK. No doubt Google will move swiftly to deny its services to such foul and corrupting outfits as www.fundraisingsupplies.co.uk

That worked then...

Gambling - bad

Oppression of the chinese people - good

I guess none of it is strictly evil, so that's a consolation.

Are these ads served by Doubleclick?

I block all traffic to doubleclick at our firewall - save lokking at junk like that!
