Let's not discuss which sites you visited before (it doesn't matter - I checked the site with that image and it's actually a fashion ecommerce site)...

Next time you see this, right click and copy the URL. Send to me via PM and I will block it.

Things like that appearing might make me decide to view ad's here ;)

I don't think there's specifically a "negligee" category in the list... We do block some categories and specific URLs.

Also, most interesting is if we host an image like that Google won't show ads on the page. But they have no problems using those type of images in ads... Go figure.

Also, so it's clear, ads can be targeted to either the user or the page content. Looking at our account, user-targeted ads are a minor part of the ads displayed on these pages. 

This means that if you let ads appear (i.e. not using an adblocker or as a subscriber still have the option to show ads set) then most ads will be related to the content... So if you are looking at the transport sub-forum pages you will see ads for cars, if you are looking at the travel sub-forum pages you will see ads for travel agencies, airlines, if you are looking at the home theatre sub-forum pages then you will see ads for TVs, consumer electronics and so on.

This is good because content-related ads lets you discover products and services that are relevant to the discussion.

Very few ads are targeted to users' viewing but those may appear (hence my joke on the first reply). These are ads where the reader visited another website before and that other business pays a premium to "follow" the user in other sites (like when you visit a Las Vegas hotel website and then start seeing ads for Las Vegas buffet everywhere).

Usually these advertisers don't pay enough to replace the content-targeted ads (the ones that look at page content instead of visitor's viewing habits) but sometimes they appear if the ad auction for a specific page doesn't get enough interest (ad auctions happen during those milliseconds needed to load a page and sometimes a page is too new for Google to decide what to put in there so the second paying category wins).

It could be the OP visited a women's clothes site before, or someone using the computer did, or searched for a specific clothes item, and so on. 

Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much either way because the ad you saw are the exception. We serve millions of pages/ads a month and those may be just the fringe. Unless you are decidedly offended by that, I wouldn't worry too much. 

I would worry A LOT if the ad was malicious in nature and loading malware - which is not the case here, really.

Does it make sense?

That image is not something I would choose to view but anyone who is offended by it must have had a very repressed childhood.

It is something that you want on your screen in the workplace. 

I have it showing up on mine as well.  I xed the ad, reported it to google as inappropriate, refreshed the screen and it is back. 

Its an ad that you have no control over. How is that inappropriate for a workplace?

Do you work with a bunch of wusses? Its not like your hitting up red tube and have that running in the corner of the screen!

I am a male teacher at a private girls school and many of my colleagues are 50+ year old women.  So yes it is inappropriate in my workplace.

1) You could subscribe, then you wont see any ads

2) I know a few 50+ women and that ad wouldn't worry them

3) I guess you should stay off any internet site while you are at work.

In any case I have blacklisted that specific domain.

Back to normal, folks.

Option 4 re enable ad blocking (not my preferred option)

I don't see this ad (or similar on any other site) 

The image is borderline pornographic

Your reply came four minutes after I blacklisted it. No operation is instant with Google. Everything takes time. But it was blacklisted from my side.
