Imagine this being 50 years ago and all the hubbub about advertising on gay websites. It is what we can expect, I guess.
Also might explain why certain Google ads accounts got pulled from certain sites which contain no porno whatsoever.

Assuming you're talking about Knotty, the issue is simply that it's a site about adult topics. Google's advertisers don't want their ads to run on those sites, period.

Yeah, but why did someone suddenly notice I guess is my point....

Could be an internal review within Google's Adsense program. They do that routinely; it's not necessarily a sign of outside interference.

The problem is not with Google's advertisers but with Google itself. There is a whole list of criteria that Google can suspend or delete your Adsense Account for.

Which is, in turn, indirectly because Google is making a certain set of promises to its advertisers. Among those is that their ads will only be run on "reputable" sites.

Cuz everyone knows no reputable sites allow discussion of pregnancy. Seriously, their regulations are prudish by the strictest standards.

This is going to sound a little off topic, but as an American, I recognize zero of those brands.

That'd be because they're all UK brands. Marks & Spencer (M&S) is a high-end clothing and food retailer; Asda is a supermarket similar to Wal-Mart; and O2 is a telecom provider (broadband, cell phones, etc). None of them do business in the US.

(I think Wal-Mart owns Asda…)

They do. Hence the similarity. :)

M&S is apparently not that high end since there are selling Belgium Chocolate on their website for only £2.63 per 100g. I was expecting something like £2.00 per piece.

It's not top end, but it's expensive. They run in a similar vein and price bracket to H&M.
