V IS for victory and in the case of the Baby boomer Divas, it also represents the power of Voice!
After our recent brush with 'pornographic advertisements', it didn't take long for the mighty spirited women that make up Beverly Mahone's list of Divas to take action!
We quickly got our heads together and started Blogging our disappointment and disapporoval of the way a couple of filthy ads found their way next to our names in a recent Press release!
This blog post was to profile the wonderful efforts and inspiration of women over fourty, all making a huge difference to the country's they represent and that of the world!
The article had been published through Free-press, and the moment it went 'live', it sadly became attached to what i can only describe as 'gutter-trash'.....at first glance we assumed these ads were courtesy of Google's Adwords, but upon closer inspection and investigation from some of our more 'computer-savvy-sisters', it was found to have been connected to a site known as Etology.com- www.etology.com/buying-space-detail.php?id=12086&EID=53955
Like many others I had never heard of the network but am aware that when using keywords/meta-tags on websites/blogs they can be picked up by google via their crawling of sites and then place ads that resemble them in order to make some extra $$$$-
This is quite common as i have always had ads on various sites mentioning cancer organisations etc, because I include alot of Ovarian cancer topis/issues at my pages. I have NO problem with this, but I have a HUGE problem when such boundaries are breached!
See how Etology almost destroyed our good names and our work!

After reading the release, and the comments I ask you this..."How did Etology.com manage to associate such filth from something so decent?"
SHOCKED? AMAZED? Well folks, as part of this sophisticated group of women I would simply like to add my final warning....THIS SORT OF TRASH WILL NEVER BE TOLERATED AND IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE OR APPROPRIATE! Those responsible might want to tread more cautiously...never underestimate the power of women on the move!!!!
Congratulations to our Diva Queen, Beverly Mahone for allowing her sisters to unite to make a stand against the demoralising of women everywhere!

United We Stand! Thanks for joining in as one collective voice.
Well put! Excellent!
As a fellow Diva, I applaud your post on our recent brush with the darker side of the internet. You are so right--women need to claim their power and say "enough" with the trash. It's fine if people want to look at these sites... just don't attach them to legitimate articles and news releases.
Thanks for your courage in speaking out on behalf of our group!
My darling diva sisters-
Whenever there is any threat or bad word spoken againts us, know I am there to defend, always!
Advocacy was one of my favourite subjects! :)
oops! Make that AGAINST!
Debbie :)
