So i was suprised to see a Yes On 8 advertisement on my blog today. It wouldn’t be so bad, but it’s pure branding, and I’m not making any money off off it.
And I would never want this ad on my site — I’m voting no on proposition 8 tomorrow — but I feel like my site’s been hijacked for political purposes. I run a usability blog, and while I might mention my political leanings (Libertarian, with a slight hint of Democrat in there), to have this on it just ruffles my feathers.
This is the danger of allowing political ads, especially one’s that are so controversial: someone’s going to get upset.
Anyone else have this happen today?
