Doubleclick Performics Hates God
One of my sites gets a couple million page views a month, a fairly loyal usergroup with 10+ pageviews per visitor. I have had the site for a while and it is clean, without any adult material. But it is a Christian community.
I have been looking for a CPM company to fill the 728 x 90 banner at the head so I thought I would give Doubleclick a try. Here was the response I got:

Let me guess… they’re afraid someone will get offended?

I wonder what “extensive religious commentary” is in a site devoted to religious commentary. I assume the ACLU will be jumping into this one soon….

I respect Doubleclick’s right to refuse sites. Pretty stupid in my opinion but whatever.
