Before you finish swooning over these shocking adverts, save something for the Seattle Times. If you do a little reading on the infamous JOA, you will discover that the Times is responsible for selling and placing all of the advertising for the two papers and the websites.

yes, yes it is NxNW...that was kind of the point...such things are now available and accosting you from after the jump stories on the Seattle PI's website. So much for checking the local news sites being work appropriate, eh?

Uhh, that's almost NSFW....maybe a little warning next time? At least nobody was looking over my shoulder (I don't think)

Girl, my Seattlest page shows a Busted Tee ad. Your computer must just be feeling horny today.

Seattlest gets a new racy advertiser too? "All Wet?"

@6: that was ad-related all right, but it was because some of the ads being served up were infected with a virus. Oopsie.

Maybe this ad (or this advertiser) is why Firefox3 was blocking the PI as a "malicious site" earlier in the week? *amused*

I know Katelyn! All whilst admitting the ad that targeted them was for adult diapers. Which, c'mon is WAY kinkier than my targeted ad.

LOL. Abbey, I think JSeattle just accused you of racy online behavior. I'm seeing an ad about preventing identity theft... how did they know about my wallet?!

clearly behavioral targeting. i'm seeing adult diaper ads. clear your cache. and don't bring up the soup thing again, please. i like to pretend it didn't happen.

it may not be an ad that the PI was aware was showing at that moment? perhaps the advertiser who bought that space just...um...slid that one in there.

The P-I isn't fit for fish-wrap. I would rather read The Stranger than the P-I.
