There are certain things that I can tolerate. Opening Jalopnik and finding a big purple dildo advertisement staring me (and anyone behind me) in the face is not one of them. You can dress it up as a classical painting if you want, but it’s still crass and unacceptable on what amounts to a PG website.

Yeah not totally sure what the bloggers were thinking there.

If you “follow” Jalopnik, you can use your Kinja Dashboard as your front page. Problem solved.
I’ve had my dashboard bookmarked for a while now, and I can’t remember the last time I actually visited jalopnik.com. All the latest posts show up on my feed automatically.

They were thinking “Look how much money Adam & Eve are giving us for posting this!”

Yeah, it's bad. Like really, really bad.

Yeah I guess they just don't care about their readers NSFW worries

Meh, it wasn’t that bad. It wasn’t a “featured” post, so the image is still pretty small.
If you’re browsing at work, use an ad blocker. Or avoid the front page at work...

Would you be happy paying a $20 a month membership fee to access Jalopnik (ad free)? This is provided to us for free. Gawker makes money on selling ad spots. That’s how this works.
Personally I was growing tired of the Me-Undies ads, and welcome new ones.

I blocked the entire sidebar months ago with AdBlock Plus, never deal with that stuff. Though I may be looking into Greasemonkey or another script to change the page code so I get that 1/3rd of the screen back for main articles.

I’m okay with ads. I’m not okay with pictures of marital aids on a car website.

I’m sure the intended audience is Jezebel females. The ads are cycled thru the various subsites.
PS: They aren’t just for married people.

It’s called a “euphemism”.

On second thought, perhaps we are the intended audience. Since we’re all compensating for something with our cars.

They’re for our wives because we spend so much time in the garage.

Just like every other business the thinking is “F—k them we’ll get more people”. There’s no loyalty to long timers, it’s about the uniques.

Yeah. Gawker media needs to get control of who they sell ad space to.

Garage sex would be rather dangerous. Make sure to use jackstands.

They’re probably desperate for any money they can get lately.

That is why I use an ad blocker at work.

That’s true.

How do gawker sites qualify as PG? There are SWEARS in some headlines.

Didn’t see it initially and had to really look for it when I went back after seeing this post. I guess I was distracted by the mighty Dodge Rampage that was pictured right below.

Seen PG movies lately? Some swears allowed.

Once in a while there is an article about having sex in cars, but for the most part Jalopnik is family friendly.

Are you talking about the same media outlet that offered cash for un retouched Lena Dunham nudes?

It depends on whether or not it’s a celebrity they tell us to like or not. For example: Jennifer Lawrence vs Gwyneth Paltrow.
