Default LUSSO ad placement on Yahoo

I just found a very bizarre ad placement for LUSSO on Yahoo News when I clicked on a lead story titled: "Fatal shark attack forces beach closures near San Diego"

Fatal shark attack forces beach closures near San Diego - Yahoo! News

Apparently this is an ad placement rotation box and when I refreshed my browser multiple times, the LUSSO ad was replaced by Benedryl, Ford, AT&T and Royal Caribbean ads.

LUSSO is not to blame for this as the ad placement is controlled by Yahoo, and Yahoo should have better controls for placement of ads within articles that are about potentially sensitive topics.

Definitely poor placement by Yahoo... couldn't agree more!

I do want to give LUSSO proper credit for having some of the BEST marketing material I have ever seen for ANY Destination Club.

Their sales brochure and follow-up materials (even personalized) deserve to win an award.....very nice!

On a much happier note, I was glad to see the LUSSO ad pop up on a story titled: "Obama, Clinton spend time in low-priority states"

Obama, Clinton spend time in low-priority states - Yahoo! News

I also fixed my screen capture settings for better images.

...at least something worth reading on that page, since the story is of no interest to me!

I see Lusso ads also popping up quite often on Investor Village (a stock message forum).
