I am not a fan of the MA political banner ad that has been appearing in the forum.

Unfortunately, those are coming through Google so they are really tough to control. :(

I think they must be geotargeting you as well because I haven't seen any political ads. If you catch the domain, I may be able to block it from within Google.

I haven't seen political ads either - and good, because I'm not a fan of that, either!

I just added the URL given in the ad to our block list. Hopefully that will do it. If not, here is a page that will tell you how to find the exact URL for us to block:
