Not cool, FM! FM has nothing to do with that, that is either Iron Source or Ad Colony that programs it into the ad. Think of the ad button the same as a browser. Mozilla, Google, or Apple aren't responsible for what the sites that you go to are publishing.

However, Matt Edmondson doesn't like when the ads that are served on his game do stuff like that. If you take a screen shot of the offending ad and post and send him a direct message on Reddit, he will complain to the Ad services, but that is pretty much the best they can do, as they cannot dictate the ads that get served to their players, other than if they are of an inappropriate age range.

You can also report ads in this way if you find ads served to you that are offensive. Simply take a screen shot and send a post on Reddit. He may not reply, but he will at least bring it to the attention of the Ad services. You've said that before, but when I've contacted FM concerning problematic ads in the past, they thanked me for letting them know, and it was fixed within a few hours. So obviously they have some control over it.

Now there's another one doing it too. Garden scapes. The first one was (and still is) Angry birds. They don't have any control over the code.

They get in touch with the Ad server's tech support and complain, and the ad company makes the fix.

On IOS, the ads don't actually launch the App Store anymore; just a page. Click DONE and everything closes and you get your reward, same as if you had clicked the X.
