THE BORDER REPORT

So I received this email from Google late last night. Apparently they have a blanket policy against gore on Web sites. While Google has the right to dictate whom they wish to advertise with, I guess I have a few rights, too, starting with the right to tell an advertiser to piss off. To my way of thinking, intent must be considered before considering photos as pornographic. So I'll continue posting photos of whom and what I please and Google can keep their (low-end) few hundred dollars a year. Hello, While reviewing your account, we noticed that you are currently displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our policies. For instance, we found violations of AdSense policies on pages such as http://borderreporter.com/2008/09/decapitations-whats-next/. Please note that this URL is an example and that the same violations may exist on other pages of your website. As stated in our program policies, AdSense publishers are not permitted to place Google ads on pages with violent or disturbing content, including sites with gory text or images. As a result, we have disabled ad serving to the site. Your AdSense account remains active. However, we strongly suggest that you take the time to review our program policies (https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=48182&stc=aspe-2pp-en) to ensure that all of your remaining pages are in compliance. Please note that we may disable your account if further violations are found in the future.
