One of the DU ads that frequently pops up on my workplace computer... [View all]

Features an attractive young woman wearing a white sundress and standing in a meadow, with a big, boldface declaration "I CHEAT FOR MEN OVER 40."

I hasten to add that this is my workplace computer, so it's not as though I'm surfing to any naughty sites and generating those kinds of tracking cookies.

I know that DU doesn't really control the ads that pop up, but come on!
