Several readers wrote in when ProtectMarriage.com ads started showing up for our California readers. The pro-Prop 8 graphic was arriving via Google ads. Since none of the Editorial Team is in California, we had no idea they were popping up. One alert Projector grabbed this screenshot for us.

We had another flare up recently when the anti-gay ad started popping up in another ad space on the site. The company that services that spot will fill any unsold space and occasionally they use Google ads to do so. Like a bad penny, the pro-Prop 8 ad just kept turning up.
