Suitable advertising revenue?

[LongQ]

For some days now I have been aware of an advert running throughout the site promiting Tee shirts from what I assume is a brand name "Shotdeadinthehead".

This must be one of the most crass brand names ever dreamed up. Teenage bedroom stuff. It's not even an amusing play on words or some such cleverness that might make it acceptable.

I think I am pretty broadminded and certainly not into censorship but I do deplore thoughtless stupidity and this name seems to be a great example of exactly that. To put it simply - it is just dumb.

Is it possible to review whether or not to run the ads? They have no class even by the least classy of PH standards.

Shotdeadinthehead just happens to be Push who are the new supliers for the shop, so I'm not sure the advert will be removed.

Aren't they now running the PH shop?

Think you might not find this goes the way you planned.

I think they am the new supplier? http://www.pistonheads.com/news/24832.htm

Didn't have a plan.

I may have one now.

I fear you are correct.

I'm wondering just how much that tells me about Haymarket's management policies.

Trip to Manchester anyone?

Maybe. Maybe not.

But hey, something that seem unneccessarily dumb (not to say crass and very easily avoidable) to some may appear to be the age of enlightenment to others. Time will inform us about which view point offered the greatest merits.

Great brand name - see how you instantly remember who runs the PH shop now when you've only seen a few banners?

Seriously, is it really that much of a problem? How do you navigate the web, you must be on a permanent state of indignation!

They are indeed the people who run our shop.

We are of course aware of what they are called.

There are the odd unsavory advert fron them (tshirt with swearing on it) which shows on the site and we'll be keeping an eye out and cutting them off if/when we see them or they are reported
