Ok, so i was on my Facebook this morning seeing what everyone else has done and i noticed one of the many ads they hammer you with. Most of the time i ignore them, occasionally i get a laugh out of them but today they stepped over the line in regards to what they allow advertisers to display.
What was so bad you ask? Well, they had an ad for HATE MAIL! 
It let me know i had Hate Mail waiting and to click and read. On please, let me click, nothing beats starting my day with some hate.
WTF Facebook! 
You think we have enough issues these days you don't need to spread hate, the world has enough.
For those curios, i took a screen shot and made a public Facebook album so you can see for yourself here and NO i did not Photoshop and yes, i do have a full screen shot as well.
Now i am not a lawyer but i assume there is some law out there that prevents this kind of thing. Regardless, the Facebook Marketing department should be checking these 
. This ad didn't even give me the option to mark as SPAM and give my 2 bits so instead it will be blogged for the whole world to see the new low they have taken.
I will be sending a "kind" email to Facebook today informing them of this and i think i may CC the local news to stir the pot. Let's make sure we put a stop to this before the ads get worse. What will happen when they use your friends pic on the ad, someone will take it the wrong way and sooner or later someone is going to get hurt (or worse) because of an ad. I guess I'll have to watch the news for that story...maybe they will even make FARK.com and possibly a Florida tag 
SHAME ON YOU FACEBOOK, Ignorance is bliss....
