Default Banner Ad on this forum?

Are you guys seeing the banner ad across the top of this forum? They change every time the page loads, but this one is showing up now:

Talk to Your Pilot

It is pretty anti-union and obviously anti-APA. Don't forget to leave some comments

My blood pressure just went up reading some of the comments off the Twitter feed. Ridiculous! Gotta be a management site.

Great. You get a Phillapina dating site and I get "Budget Truck Rentals." I guess I'm looking at the wrong kind of sites (I'm pretty sure these banners are cookie-driven."

I left a message of support for the pilots. It will be interesting to see if it gets posted.

And I get freakin' mobility scooter ads

I'm pretty sure my browsing history doesn't include either Filipinos or hookers, so......not sure why I get this banner ad too.
