To any of my readers who utilize the services of dictionary.com, I would appreciate it if you discontinue use of this website until I receive feedback from them indicating that they have pulled a particularly deragatory ad that I (and you, likely) have seen numerous times.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing in objection to an ad I have seen on dictionary.com numerous times. The ad depicts an animated cartoon of a woman in scant clothing jumping on a trampoline, with a man's hand holding a water balloon aiming at her. Its caption reads: "Wet the girl, get a hot ringtone." It is an interactive ad, encouraging the viewer to aim the hand and hit the girl with the water balloons. The ad is linked to http://679.ringtonemecca.com/.
I, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this, find the ad offensive and deragatory towards women. I would very much appreciate your not accepting advertising from this company, and I will encourage everyone I know to discontinue their use of your services until the ad has been pulled.
Thank you, and I appreciate your time and efforts in helping to remedy the already severely deragatory treatment of women in the media.
Sincerely,
Ashley Farnan
