Default "overflowing" toilet ad

Does the QB have any control over the ads? The Allstate ad with the overflowing toilet is disgusting. I realize advertising is a necessary evil to pay the bills but why are we subjected to an ad like this?

Write to Allstate; tell them you're disgusted and because of that ad, now want nothing to do with their company.

​I have pop-up and ad blockers on my computer so I haven't seen it.

I havent seen it either. But now I am curious and want to see it! Usually I don't pay any attention to the ads though.

I get it every time I log onto the board - I figured I was the only one bothered by it. It makes me sick! I will write to Allstate. Thanks, Patrice for reporting it.

I tought I was the only one who is tired of seeing it. I get that Allstate needs to advertise but this one needs to be retired. It's disgusting!
