Home page seller suggestions question

After going to the homepage of eBay for the first time in a while, I noticed the suggested sellers, (all book sellers) were populating with pornagraphic books. My question is this: who does that feature on the site grab it's information and suggest what it does? Is this an indication that someone in my household was looking for porn on eBay? or what?

A related thread was posted here a few days ago as well as on the Mentor board.  adsteam@ebay replied saying,  "we are sorry for the upsetting experience. This is a bug that we will fix, the appropriate team is already on it."   So I think this is getting fixed.  Many people have seen pornographic sponsored items showing when looking at book listings, even young children's books - very inappropriate for those pages.
