Context ad placement strikes again



  • While watching some youtube wildlife videos with my son, I saw this:



  • So that's what happened to that old poof.



  •  I have Denver Birds, but I don't want them removed.  I need their Denver Eggs for my Denver Omelette.



  •  Oh, man, this is quite possibly the most confused anyone has ever been about how to join the Mile High Club.



  • So you are looking for wildlife videos, and you type "amazing" in the search box? WTF?



  •  It's a well-known fact that WHATEVER you type or search in search engines nowadays, you'll get some form of advertisement back, even if you search for "disease-ridden dead rotting corpses".

     The very least you'll get a "Cick HERE for the BEST DEALS on disease-ridden dead rotting corpses" link.

    I didn't with Google. And I don't have their adverts blocked.

    Their bad for missing on such a business opportunity. Or the operators in this sector aren't aware of the wonders of online advertising yet.

     

    Seriously though, at least Google seems to only display ads that are in screened databases, although it's still possible to get irrelevant or tasteless ad placement.

    Domain squatters/link spammers OTOH are not as selective, and will autogenerate even fake ads in order to attract potential "customers"  (yeah, because nothing

    spells "business opportunity" like a generic cybersquatter's "What you need, when you need it" site).

    I have no doubt that as soon as some algorithm or other at google realises that it's getting a few hits for those search terms when others try it, that they'll find something to display there.

    You should have heard your mom last night when I was working her. It was like a nightingale, a ringtone, a Hasselblad shutter click, a seagull, a loud wino, my laundry machine, my dryer, the bus, a second ringtone, a Fear Factory concert and a million agonized voices all at once.

    Alpine.

    But, you can PRETEND to get excited over the bird, in order to SCORE the new, young, silicone-filled Hollywood starlet . . . . or just the new gullible, silicone-filled receptionist with the interesting ankle tattoos.

    What if the bird really was damned by God, and now it has returned to Earth with a vengeance?  And its got like Hell powers and shit?  And Satan was all like, "yo, bird!  Go fuck some shit up back on Earth.  Take this bitchin' motorcycle that has spikes on the wheels and flames painted on it," and the bird took the bike and then kicked Satan in the crotch and rode off with Satan's woman because ain't nobody gonna tell this bird what to do?  And the bird can raise the dead to serve as its army, but most dead people are too pussy so it only reanimates the skeletons of Vikings?  But, like, the Vikings learned voodoo from a dead African priestess in Hell so now they can do voodoo and they raise an army of zombie dinosaurs?  And since there's no dinosaur flesh left the dinos replaced their skin with Kevlar and their muscles with liquid metal so they are bulletproof and now if you stab them you get burned to death from the molten titanium inside them?  Also, it shoots lasers from its eyes maybe?

    Note for our British friends: In the states, "bird" refers to most feathered, usually flighted, vertebrates. It does NOT refer to some new, young, silicone-filled Hollywood starlet.

    All his penis does is practice.  Deep down, it knows it'll never get a real opportunity, but it won't let that stop it!  Why, it even practices while he sleeps, just in case the day should come where morb's sex dreams come true.  Should morb's mother someday try to seduce him while wearing a pair of men's overalls and a bushy black mustache, his penis will be ready.
