Google Stops Ads For "Cougar" Sites 319
teh31337one writes "Google is refusing to advertise CougarLife, a dating site for mature women looking for younger men. However, they continue to accept sites for mature men seeking young women. According to the New York Times, CougarLife.com had been paying Google $100,000 a month since October. The Mountain View company has now cancelled the contract, saying that the dating site is 'nonfamily safe.'"

Please drill down into TFA and tell me if this is a slashvertisment for CougarLife, an unrelated violation of googles TOS, or really google being evil so I can be outraged accordingly.

Once again, another story that has NO impact on the readers of /. Neither "hot older women" nor "cute young men" can be found here. Thanks for reminding us you jerk!
If would be a different story however, if google had banned a site for women seeking basement dwelling fat people.

It is none of the above. It is a sneaky coordinated attack on an innocent cat-lover's web site, probably instigated by a vicious cabal of dog people.

Aka "trolls" on at least two levels. Maybe three if they're WoW/RPG players.
So, who's gonna register "troll-life.com" or whatever, point it to slashdot.org, and submit some google ads?

First they banned cougarlife.com, and I didn't speak up because I couldn't get a date with a cougar.
Then they banned jdate.com, and I didn't speak up because I couldn't get a date with a Jew.
Then they banned makeoutclub.com and thestranger.com's boards, and I didn't speak up because I couldn't get a date with a hipster.
Then they banned okcupid.com, and I didn't speak up because I couldn't get a date with semi-nerdy girls in their teens to thirties.
Then they banned the appliance section at Sears, and I didn't speak up because even electric mixers and toaster ovens refuse to go out with me.
Then they banned...

This is just a tactical move in Google's spat with Apple. They're banning the term "Cougar" before Apple can use it as the name of its next OS X release.

If they don't allow mountain lions then at least allow a little pussy.
