Inside AdSense?

Interesting comment on the AdSense Blog:

"AdSense has had a VERY negative impact on my advertising lately.

Yes on Prop 8 ads have been showing up for our California readers - our largest audience.

We are a gay and lesbian blog so an ad advocating for discrimination against gays and lesbians is obviously not going over well.

My readers think that I've accepted that ad and I'm making money off bigots trashing my community.

I'm very upset about this issue and would like for someone to contact me. Since this is the only way I've found to contact anyone, I had to use it. I have a lot of seriously pissed off readers and have lost a good chunk of CA traffic because of this.

I've blocked the URL protectmarriage.com now, but the ads keep showing up via different URLs. Please make it stop. I believe this violates Google's policy of not accepting advertising from groups that "advocate against a protected group."
