Can advertisers be required to advertise properly here?

Logged into the History/Restoration forum tonight and I see a Mustang in the advertisements. Not really what we should be seeing on a 3rd gen Camaro/Firebird site.

Yeah, but it is not an advertisement for Mustang parts. It is just a picture of a sports car, it is selling spark plugs and we all know that every car needs them.

Some of the advertisement banners have 4th gens on them, and I do not drive a fourth gen. The cars sometimes represent the genre more than the actual applications.

As mentioned, they are ads by Google. While there is some limited control over them, they aren't picked by TGO specifically.

Never said I was pissed off about it. I was just commenting that it's not what we'd expect to see on an f-body forum.
