Recently I applied to add Kontera's ad technology to my site. I was rejected. Here is the email they sent me along with my response.

Dear Arthur,
Thank you for your application. Upon review of your site, we are concerned your site has mature content. If you have additional sites that could be a better fit for our technology we will be happy to reconsider those sites.
To submit your site for reconsideration, you can resubmit your site again here:

Be sure to list any areas of your site you think we may have missed, new sites you would like us to consider and/or other details that will assist us in making our decision.
Thank you again for your interest in Kontera. We look forward to hearing back from you.

My Response:
To Whom It May Concern,
My site is a perfect fit for your "technology" but after great consideration I've decided to not associate myself with a group of politically correct, uptight prigs.
I understand that your advertisers may have a problem with my content but it's their problem not mine.
My site has developed a small yet strong following of consumers whom I'm sure would be more than interested in purchasing the products sold through your ads. At least they would have.
Because of the attitude of you (and I shall assume your advertisers) that's not going to happen.
I've yet to hear of a company that wouldn't allow me to buy their products because of my penchant for dropping of the occasional and well-timed F-bomb.
