I have to correct you here, Jack.  That page you see is actually controlled
by his hosting company, GoDaddy.com.  He has simply bought the domain, but
he hasn't done anything with it yet.  Until a person does something with a
domain (in this case, probably paying for another year or so of hosting or
registration), the hosting company keeps them active as springboards for
ads.  In other words, the ads you see aren't his responsibility, and may not
be anything like what he has in mind.  Most forums don't look that way from
my experience.
