ya anthony, but I cant say this would be collieri's fault. People are just way to sensitive these days.

Actually, colleri makes a good point. It may be counter-intuitive, but in a situation where unrelated ads make more money than ads that somehow tie-in to the site's content, it would make more sense to go for the unrelated ads. The only reason we place themed ads is because we assume that there would be more clickthroughs, hence more $$. But if this isn't the case ...
Of course, there are lines that should not be crossed. While its probably ok to place gambling ads on a health site, it won't do to place adult ads on a kids site.
