Adult Friend Finder - Prohibited Traffic Technique

Yesterday, while surfing a mainstream site, I got a pop-up from Adult Friend Finder. I traced the source of the pop-up, and it is Standard Internet's popuptraffic program. Far as I know, promoting AFF to mainstream traffic is strictly prohibited by the Friend Finder franchise.
Here's the link: http://adultfriendfinder.com/go/p123790.subaffpop2 and it's served up by:
http://z1.adserver.com/w/cp.x;rid=8...dt=3;ac=7;c=415


And, yes, Standard Internet is the company that regularily denies any involvement in spyware/adware. Strange...reloading their popuptraffic code several times yesterday produced the following windows:
*spywarestormer - a "spyware" removal program which has been included in most security lists as a trojan
*funwebproducts - another known trojan
*free screensavers - wow, do people still fall for this one
*game assistant - adds adware / search override to your browser
*a ton of programs from casalemedia - you don't have to look far on any security board or McAfee or Norton, to find this company listed

Way to go Standard Internet...you and 12Clicks must be shaking in your boots about the impending spyware/adware legislation. Frankly, it will be nice to see you scramble.
I guess when you're a little troll submitting tgps with one or two ads on them you need to be spoon fed the way the web runs (I imagine the FTC already did that for you right before they told you to stop calling them)
but as usual, we run the same ads that every other program runs. you and trolls like you are meaningless in this biz and always will be.
(as I clearly show by bumping up your weekend thread just for fun)
