Somehow I think Katie hit it right on the mark when she said "If you have to
ask..."

        I have an opportunity to pick up some much-needed sponsorship cash
for the
        upcoming season.  Thing is, the company is an adult web site; not
strictly a
        porn site, but certainly an adults-only sex-oriented lifestyle site.
The
        name itself doesn't contain anything graphic or obscene, though the
name
        clearly indicates the type of site it is.

        I've scoured the rulebooks, and only found vague references to
        "objectionable" sponsors.  Is there any real policy here? Regardless
of the
        technicalities, am I going to be looked at as a freak if I accept
the
        sponsorship (that is, will I be looked at as more of a freak than I
        otherwise would be based on my driving)?

        I could really use the equipment the cash would buy, but I don't
want to
        offend people.  Any advice?

        Thanks
        -Brooks
