*sputters into laughter at that*

Oh heck, Google's keyword-based advertising system strikes again! This, my friends, is why I say targetted advertising fails miserably. They try so damn hard to make a serious case for their product by guessing what you want from what you read, but all they wind up doing is sounding like fools!

Oh yeah, you do make a good case, roto13. I just block popups, myself, and leave banner and other ads alone. After all, they're usually the funniest.

When I read the one about his grandfather, Google tried to sell me a helicopter.

Reading the same page, I got Macromedia Fireworks 8, which is a mighty fine programme. I got it from my friend, Don Load.

Yeah, me too. XD

Kinda makes you wonder what Google WON'T pick up and advertise. What if you had a page with only one word: "Fuck". What would the ad display then?

One time while reading Brian's post about how Kurt got sick a google ad wanted to sell me a team of lawyers to do my bidding.

I am not making this up.
