Playmates Classic TMNT Toy Ads!

TMNT 25's Turtles TV has the classic TMNT ads...in decent quality to boot.

I hope these wind up on a DVD...not sure why.

Ok I'm not on my personal computer, I'm visiting someone so maybe that's why it came up this way, but I clicked that link and:



It was uh minus the white line I put in. Not exactly what I expected clicking the link.

WTF? I have adblockplus so I don't see ads... you seriously need to forward that to Mirage and Peppercom. That is SO unacceptable.

Actually I think this computer is infected with a virus. My friend said he saw a tales of the tmnt ad. I can't wait to get back on my computer. I'm no saint but I won't have porn pop ups on family friendly sites.

Even so, that shouldn't even be possible with whatever ad system it is they're using. Frankly, there shouldn't be ads on the site period. I didn't think there were; now I'm kinda peeved about that.

Edit: Ok, I unblocked the page so I can see the ads. It looks like they're all ads for themselves, but they're all hosted on the Doubleclick network (meaning they get paid for linking to themselves), which is why the adult ad was able to appear.

They need to link to themselves using ads hosted on their own server only. Using Doubleclick like that seems like it would be against the TOS anyways. Google wouldn't go for it, I know that.

I wonder if they are considering putting some of these as part of the "25th anniversary of toys" or whatever on the first season 7 disk.

Those Shredder toys now look terrible. Looks nothing like him. And the weapons we're so poorly made(on purpose?)

Those adds change depending on the person visiting the site. The fact that they have adds is VERY necessary, sorry but in order to pay for that site they need them there. THAT SAID I will suggest it to the people at Peppercom that the add company is posting bad adds that should not be there.

Chalk it up to bad memory... but I don't think I recalled all those ads that didn't actually show toys and just showed clips of the cartoon with bad jokes.

So I spoke with some of my friends with Peppercom. Taking something like this seriously they checked into it. They do not subscribe to any add roles, it is handled internaly to prevent such events like this. Rob Longert an Account Executive with Peppercom released this prepared statement in response to these findings:

Regarding those inappropriate ads spotted on TMNT25.com, we can say with 100% confidence that there are no ads of this nature in our queue and there never will be. We believe that the computer where this ad was viewed is infected by a virus.

Thanks!

Those ads are from a virus. I had a similar problem about a month ago. I had to restore my computer to remove the virus.

That doesn't look like the Vimax ads I was getting but This gives you a example of the problem.

This is very common if anyone visited a pornographic site before on the computer.

And they didn't even show the toys. They could have been re-edited for tv show promotions.

Maybe the jokes are lame, but the background music there is awesome
