Pizza Hut

I'm just curious.... why is there a Pizza Hut ad all over the MFP site? I mean, I do indulge in pizza every so often... but still. Kinda silly to have their ads (or any other "tempting" things, for that matter) on a site promoting healthy eating and exercise, at least that's my opinion.

Thoughts??

    I think they are random based on your personal web surfing history. Mine are typically for hair care products, social networks, couponing and saving money.

    Yeah, they're syndicated, and run ads based on your browsing history. MFP has no control over the content.

    Also, keep in mind that it keeps the site FREE!

    Ads are custom to you. I don't see Pizza Hut ads, yet there is one not far from me.

    I see ads for toilet paper, go figure.
