  1. Long time user of w3 schools, a great reference tool on hand for myself and all my developers. I work in a rather large IT shop and often suggest using w3 schools for reference, but the Google Ad Services running on the right of the page contains an ad for Snorg Tees T Shirt company of a woman standing in her underwear, which I have no problem with at home, but it’s pretty inappropriate for a workplace. Here is a SC of the actual ad: http://i.imgur.com/bGUcf.png. There is a time and a place for looking at women standing in their underwear on the internet, but at work in my office (and probably 80% of all other offices) isn't the time or place. In an age where any misstep can be considered sexual harassment and in an industry where many developers are of conservative backgrounds (In this case I'm speaking of Indian women in my office) Having a junior developer looking over my shoulder while I try to show them a good example for JSON structure and then this ad coming up... this is the last thing I need when a dev is mad at me for harking on their lack of following standards; the second I suggest this page and they go here and get to tell my boss this is what I am having them look at... no bueno. I've since recommended that everyone in the office use adBlock when traversing w3 schools. I would like to continue supporting the site but not at the risk of getting yelled at by my boss for someone complaining about this. Anyways, just a suggestion to help increase the professionalism of this site.
