I find I just ignore the ads. They clearly aren't addressed to me. However, if someone starts a petition or some initiative to hurt Civony/Evony's bottom line, I'll support it (within reason). I think what they're doing hurts our community, and they should be made to correct their mistake.
Sadly, what they're doing is really just the inevitable conclusion to where video game advertising has been going for a number of years now, particularly in RPGs, but in some AGs as well. These new guys are just crass enough to completely abandon any pretense of fanciful representation of their game's content, and go straight for the chest shot. Meh.
