Lemme tell you a story about geoip banners...
A while back, I was dating this chick whos family was very religious and old fashioned. When I started dating her, she had me help her dad buy some camera lens online because he didn't know english. I used my email for the confirmation and all that, and the transaction went through perfectly.
Fast forward 1,5yr.
He's checking some bonus points for some gas station online, and when entering his email it autocompletes to mine. He decides, hey, i'll checkout my daughters boyfriends website, mechbunny.com. He goes here, and starts following through to the portfolio links. He gets on some tube sites, and sees some AFF geoip banners.
He proceeds to lecture his daughter about how I'm pimping local girls out for online porn and prostitution, I'm in the mafia, That my company is illegal because my domain is .com and not .pl, etc.
Unrelated...but a good story none the less
