		<description>Regarding the ad. It is less of an issue that their ad appeared on that or any other website, but the message in the ad within the context of the website where it is being served to customers.  
 
Dating has to do with relationships, love and bonding, which are important aspects of life. Tributes.com, which redirects to orbits.eons.com  btw. is about obituaries and loved ones that deceased, which is also an important and inevitable piece of life. An ad by LavaLife.com that embraces life and its sad and good realities would be appropriate. Trying to SELL something on such a website is not (with the exception of flowers I guess). 
 
Corporations appear often to be blunt and notorious for not knowing when to turn off the sales pitch and just BE there and support, embrace and/or acknowledge without trying to sell anything. They would indirectly benefit from it, because it shows people that the company tries to be a natural part of the community like the rest of us. People know in most cases when it is the right time to promote themselves and when it is the right time to shut up and just provide support and understanding. It is hard to fake that right, because it requires actual understanding.  
 
Any attempt to take that understanding part out of it will eventually result in a blunder where the wrong message is being sent to people at the wrong time to expose the companies attempt to take short cuts and skip the understanding part. </description>

		<description>It&#039;s better to lose potential revenue with no ads than to lose actual and/or potential customers with poor ads.  Many times the use of ads, period, is a very short-sighted strategy. Branding and reputation are far too valuable a commodity to destroy with run of site ads. </description>

		<description>True Evan but your average consumer is not going to be aware of that type of those intricacies. The impression from the consumer stand point is still a poor one and one they will remember. </description>
