All Jaiku comment pages that I viewed during the last 10 mins, have a Church of Scientology ad on them. Anyone feeling the same problem?

    I'm wondering if I delete my Jaiku account with those "Church" of Scientology ads.

    have they been showing up longer? i just noticed them like 20 min ago.. i strongly object to having them polluting the atmosphere of the service. anything one can do?

    Of course if the adverts are in anyway related to what is written then we will now continue to see Scientology adverts now.

    The guys at Jaiku can block certain adverts from showing though, if they so-wished, the feature is usually used to block competitors from advertising on your site.

    @waveydavey001: i've noticed the post on a few pages that could never be interpreted to have any connection to the "church", through browsing some random posts under the explore page.. a free sms as in free beer? ;)

    CoS seems to be bidding high for very generic keywords. I do find it a little bothersome. CoS is a criminal organization and as such should violate Google's Adwords TOS.

    It seems to be the top ad everywhere I look. Rather disgusting, really.
