@Karma Getin: Video game advertisers are usually different from the wrinkletreatment/weightloss/gimmemybotox scam advertisers that latruth is cursing about. Your competitive ad filter is under your AdSense Setup tab. Get the url of the offensive ad and put it into the competitive ad filter. The thing isn't perfect but the ad should go away in a day or two. The real killer here is the agressive advertisers that want to turn all our children into psychotic, gun-crazed, suicidal, wannabe Army recruits (of character, of course)... AdSense is a fully computerized program where real thinking humans don't get involved in where the ads come from or where they get shown. The AdWords advertisers pick the keywords that they want and pay for them. We, the AdSense publishers, get the results of that complete and utter abandoment of common decency and personal integrity that comes hand-in-hand with those advertisers' search for a few more bucks at anyone else's cost. Good luck!
