Google ads are getting funny
My favorites so far have been cheap plane tickets to Israel and an ad for lawyers looking for drunk drivers to defend. Does anyone else have a favorite? I'm not quite sure how they come up with these ads (I think google searches a page for key words it associates with certain ads) but it is getting pretty funny.

1. I did laugh at the cheap Israel vacation ads.
There's one on now for incorporating in Israel with a "virtual office and bank account".

2. The limo idiot who asks if we are COMMING to NY, perhaps?
I dunno...I am disinclined to use the services of a car company that can't even spellcheck their shitty ad...!

3. The current one is "Save A Jewish Baby".
www.efratus.org

The humor is fading.

4. I was just laughing at a big red one
It is advertising" India’s #1 Matrimonial site."

Dating is now outsourced. Oy!

I wonder if anyone has run across useful ads.

5. FBI is hiring
Somehow, I don't think they want me. At least not as an employee.

6. prophecywatch.com
Currently down, but I suspect it's a "here's the news that shows that our Lord Jesus' return must be nigh!" site.

I can think of fewer sites in the US than DU that would have people wanting to click on that link.

Perhaps CAIR.

7. We should put some obscure words in this thread
just for giggles


My big red ad has been replaced with "Everything Jerusalem"

8. half the fun is watching how the ads match up to the key words
used in the threads.

Seems like Google has a long way to go in automating ads to threads.
