Commercials on Video's

Fox,  I know you have to make money on advertisements but there are plenty of spaces to sell your commercial time.  Selling ad space on a video clip on such a horrific topic such as the brutal killing of Amber Lee is distasteful.  Put the ad on other topics, some stories should remain sacred.  Selling ad's on the story of a young woman's life that was cut short at the hands of a murderer is unacceptable and I would think the business that purchased the ad space would be appalled.  This in my opinion has crossed the line, please rethink your placements.  I am an avid fan of FOX and have been for over 25 years, please keep your intergrity.  What if it was one of your own that was going through this right now?

You are absolutely right, Michelle! In these circumstances, the loss of a loved one should be respected and no one should have their hand out to profit from another's tragedy.

Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to target ads to (or away from) individual stories.

I've been asking for that ability for a while now, and this is a prime example of why. But for now, there's nothing we can do.

Boex, thank you for letting me know. Hopefully you will be able to obtain that function in the near future, better yet would be if you never had to run another story like that! I am glad that you feel the same way, thank you.

Don't let them fool you. They knew this was going to be a big story and sold the spot to the highest bidder. Fox is a media giant. If they can place the ad in there they can choose when to run it. Do you think the magic ad fairy just pops the ads up there and no one knows how it got there?

Having recently accepted the nomination of a fellow blogger to run for President I felt it was appropriate to update my profile. I have lived in Florida for a long time, but have lived in 13 States in total. I feel that having lived in a quarter of the states I am qualifed to be President. I do have a political affilialtion, however that is not important, I will do what is best. If you contribute to my campaign I promise to make promises that you want to hear!!!! If you don't vote for me, don't vote for anyone, no sense in wasting your time!
