Hi, as most of the world knew, this year's super bowl was hit by some unpleasant surprise when Janet Jackson's breast was revealed.

While this probably is irrevelant to the topic of this forum, I want to point out that a pop-under ads on a well-known network shows the offensive breast pic in an attempt to lure visitors.

My question: This particular ads isn't categorized as 'Provocative' by the advertiser... then how do I block it before someone visiting my site sees this ads?

I find this to be rather disturbing as I couldn't control what type of ads get to feed into my site.

Do I take it correctly that if an ad is classified as "provocative" you can block or filter it through the network's control panel?

If so, I'd drop them a line suggesting (demanding) they classify it as they should. Otherwise, since you're concerned about your visitors the only other option would appear to be taking down the ad code altogether, again with a note to the ad network telling them why. You can't be the only one in the same situation, maybe after a few such notes the network will take proper action.
