This banner appears on DNForum, have the words "screw you" become socially acceptable in a business environment?

Saw it myself. Didn't care much for it. Sure didn't click on it.

Yeah, I couldn't believe the rich jerk banners were appearing here either. Not just for language but for the bullcrap steaming from the pixels. I know advertisers are paying each month, but does DNF have to accept anybody and any banner graphic??

I think that it's not appropriate. "Got screwed" is borderline but "screw you" is like flipping the bird.

I agree - I come here for a positive and productive atmosphere, not to be insulted in a borderline-obscene way.

Glad I am not the only one that found this offensive. I was very surprised to see something like that allowed in this environment.

Same here... actually, I got a good laugh out of it.

I also like the "Wanna party like a rock star, chicks dig it" one.. excellent!

insulting and childish marketing by a jerk who got real lucky selling it big time a few yrs ago. I think it was a Clickbank program at that time which was heavily mareketed.

It still is a clickbank program
Easy to work out who the affiliate is

Good luck to him

Nothing offensive from my point of view, however maybe that is my cultural perspective

I had a good laugh reading the Rich Jerk ad and getting insulted at the same time :)

The Domain Graduate ad is genius (and certainly more appropriate!) :ok:
