Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): "Test & Keep a Free iPad 3". An attempt to grab your e-mail, phone number and address for spamming purposes, plus completing 11 offers in exchange for a chance to win various prizes. On page 2 (I put in a bogus e-mail to see) they're even open about that goal. They ask for the spam info first of course since often these offers fail to work so people just give up. So next I tried a fake address to get to the offers, checked a few boxes and... blank screen. Man at least give me the run around a bit longer so I feel like I had a chance.

Research has shown that the site is a PG15 information hub that aims to provide information safely, without the usual crop of, ah, NSFW material.
It does possess an affiliated "adults only" branch, but that is a separate site that is clearly labeled as such and only linked once, as far as I can tell.
The adults only branch has a banner to prevent entry by the underage. Not that it would stop kids who want in, but hey.

you do have a point about the main site, though it's link to the second site could be problematic.

Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): The ad is called giants girl, while not all that bad, it does seem to lean pretty hard on soft core porn presentation for female bodies.
I think I'm going to have to fall back on my tried-and-true "I don't police the internet" defense here. It's a comic strip, with a tangible story (written by a woman) and no actual nudity. The ad itself is entirely harmless.
Do I personally find the artwork tasteless in its shame-free exploitation of the female body? Yes. Is it up to my forum readers to draw their own conclusions about such, should they choose to click on it? Yes.

3.) Location of ad (Top box or bottom box): bottom box
4.) Brief description of objectionable content (including a name or other identifying characteristic): The ad is for a Minecraft server called "PlebCraft". The objectionable part is that it's touting big on the banner that the server is "CRACKED". (Whatever way that would actually look like) I suspect this to be at least questionable, if not illegal.
Just to add to Domochevsky's report: had a look at the site, it gives out cracked clients for minecraft (ones you don't have to pay for) and does something to do with allowing you to add advertisements or something to it.
Either way, very reprehensible and not legal.

I chose not to watch the video, but those types of sites tend to be dodgy at best, and illegal at worst.

Just to add on to what Surfing HalfOrc has reported, it is also showing up here in Australia. Not sure if that needs to be said, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Reeks of being a scam, especially the website, which does the tried-and-true "open up a dialogue box asking you not to leave when you try to close it," which is almost never a good sign.

I have it set to notify me of responses to the thread, but the board software only does so for the first such response. Therefore, I have to come here and read every response that gets left in order to "reactivate" the notification, in case there's ever a really offensive ad that needs to be dealt with right away.

Also a Picture of Uncle Sam in the "I Want You" pose.
Looks like one of those shady "buy our program to get dates." I reported a similar one a few weeks back.

It links to a youtube video of someone complaining about youtube's dark future.
