Please be kind to the Gentoo folks. They have sold ad space, placed the add that the sponsor wanted them to and linked it to the site that the sponsor wanted them to. The Gentoo folks have done everything right so that they can collect some money to help run the site. If you want to complain (and slashdot's full) then tell the people at vr.org. I'm sure they vetted it for p0rn, scams, and ability to pay; they are too busy doing things that help Gentoo to babysit irresponsible advertisers.
I'd like to thank everyone at Gentoo for a great product and a great web experience.
