If you ever hear an ad during the show that you suspect shouldn't be there - please immediately let the Berlant & Novak ads team know at [email protected]

While there are strict blocks on certain ad categories in the show's automated ads system, **sometimes advertisers find ways to circumvent these restrictions**. They might categorize their ads differently or use unclear descriptions that don't immediately flag the show's set filters.

The ads team greatly appreciates you flagging these ads so they can identify advertisers who are gaming the system.
