    wtf is this, this is not relevant to my interests. Well, she is of great relevance to my interest, waheyhey. In all seriousness though, the frontpage ads have really taken a dive recently. What happened to the tech only ads?

    This ad has now been removed. It only appeared by mistake - apparently some sort of miscommunication among the ads team. Cheers for pointing it out.
