Seriously, the "Know your meat" ads are making me sick

[Connonym]

the new one isn't as gross as the old one and yeah it's probably true that it's barbaric stuff but I really don't care to have to be forced to look at it whenever I go to my DU page. I'm a subscriber, can we turn that off? I completely respect the right for them to advertise and probably agree with their cause but I think it would be nice if there was a minimal standard of discretion when it comes to ads that we're forced to see on DU. Can the pictures please go?

1. You using Firefox?

You can block the ad images if you are.

2. Can't you turn off the ads if you're a donor?

I've never bothered to turn them off, but now I'm going to look into it. I'm also tired of the meat ads and I'm already mostly vegetarian.

3. Yes, I always talk to chunks of chicken and slabs of beef before grilling them.

:o

I'm presuming it's about tasty animals and not anything naughty?
