Andrew Eisen: JDKJ - Doesn't appear that it did refuse the ad revenue. "Stingray Sushi says that it already paid for the ad and that a refund is not an option."

JDKJ: What leaves me scratching my head is why any municipality or authority would be interested in refusing advertising revenues while crying that they're flat-ass broke, raising fares, and reducing services. Go figure.

Andrew Eisen: Agreed. If aiming guns in a mildly threatening manner and short skirts are not okay, fine. But you have to be consistent. I've seen too many underwear ads and action movie posters with characters in the same pose not to call BS on this decision.

Mad_Scientist: "violent" and "obscene"... because the character has guns and a short skirt? Guess they've been taking lessons in double standards from the Chicago Transit Authority.

Andrew Eisen: Especially absurd are the spambots that put a lot of time and effort into disguising their spam as legitimate comments, hiding the links in multi-paragraph posts that specifically comment on the story at hand (again, stories from ’09 and earlier).

Andrew Eisen: Seriously, what are the odds that someone who's actually interested in your spam will stumble across it while reading the comments of stories from well over a year ago?

Andrew Eisen: I don't understand you spambots. Even if our users were interested in clicking on your links, how do you expect them to do so when you bury your spam in the comments section of articles that are over 18 months old?
