Despicable Facebook Ad

Comments

Ew my god.
Disgusting.

Halle freaking jeulia (not sure of spelling) that someone besides me notices how young these girls are - I'm seeing this crap everywhere. Little girls in Hollywood dressed up like hookers, etc etc. I wonder why more people don't notice it.
thats a bit creepy
People finders must be part of an affiliate program because the company has seems to have been around since 1988 and even runs a sex offender email notification program. I imagine the ad was put into Facebook by a third party on an incentive program and Facebook has missed it.

People finders actually has nothing to do with little girls folks. Often times there is an angle being missed and I would wager that Facebook simply slipped up here.

Has anyone notified Facebook of their dismay? With every system there is always a way for jerks to get through. it would seem to me that this sort of thing is not in Facebook's tastes either.

Yes, I have reported the ad. You're right, in that Facebook might not know about it, yet.

Well, it's changed been a gradual change. And yet, a minor girl who dresses provocatively is bad enough. The text of the ad is what really gets me, though. It's basically advertising PeopleFinder as a stalking tool.

Yes, and I see worse stuff that misses my spam filter many times a day. It's the internet, this stuff is out there. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's acceptable for Facebook to post adds like this, I'm simply saying often times filters checks and balances are circumvented on the internet. I can honestly say if I saw that ad I would have dismissed it as a badly conceived engrish-ranguage spam ad designed to incite a click-through. As you know, click-through ads can garner money... and that ad certainly gets attention! What is most disturbing to me is not so much the ad itself, but the bigger picture of humanity that it would incite clicks-- either by perverts or angry people. Think how much traffic your post could now generate for peoplefinders... mission accomplished.

Oh, great, so I'm part of the problem! lol

PeopleFinders is a legitimate site. It could be misused by a stalker or pedophile looking for a victim, or it could be used to find your long lost sibling or the deadbeat dad who owes you back child support. With all of the things it could be used for, I'm saddened that this is the advertising approach taken. As you mentioned, though, the ad may not have even been posted by PeopleFinder, just someone playing on the worst of us to get clickthrough money.

I doubt very highly that you are *really* part of the problem. The emotion these things evoke is understandable. I think the ad is totally sicko too and it really sucks that it would end up on Facebook of all places. It's morel ike something you would see on a software warez or crack sight... not that I know about those things ::blush::. Anyways, I like to believe that Facebook is a nice place, and fairly safe for family-minded people. I mean... parents like to let their kids network on Facebook and I hate to consider that *they* might see those ads also. And in all fairness to you, knowing the line of work PeopleFinders is into, well perhaps it isn't too far off to consider that they might lack scruples and engineer the ad themselves. It's hard to say, and I still lean towards spam of some sort via affiliate programs. In the end, regardless, that ad gets two thumbs down, ten toes one knee and probably a couple of elbows (I stole that from Will Smith)
[this is good]

Ewww! That ad is also appropriate for Stalkers. The information age isn't safer.

Lol! Just say no to crack, 'Chelle!

Adults routinely use their "little girls" provocatively to entice and entrap pedophiles either in Police-sponsored stings, or naively trying to catch one themselves so they can "bust" them and live off pity-checks donated to the "victims" by the public.

The ad you showed here is disturbingly becoming more and more acceptable as tools to lure in whoever they can, and seems strikingly similar to tactics that "Perverted Justice" was using.

-It's all sick to me.

The only stings I know of involve police pretending to be children online and hanging out in chat rooms until someone offers to "meet them." I'm not familiar with anyone using real children as the bait. If that's the case, it's sick and twisted.
