Bad Ad Placement

ROFLOL! I needed a good laugh this morning. My favorite one was the carrot and next to it lady exercising...

Hehe... Can't speak for the billboards, but context-based adverting is the worst thing to happen to the Internet since pop-ups. Sure, most of the time they're harmless enough, but occasionally, you'll just end up with some really disturbing/offensive combination while looking at the news or something.

I will say, I miss Google's old ad system, though. They've fixed it, but back in the day, those sponsored links were often hilarious, like the time I did a Google search for Jesus and saw in the sponsored links section that I could buy Jesus on eBay.

I rather enjoyed "burn baby burn", Jesus and the cat, and the carrot. I don't think you'd realize how huge that woman's ass was if not for the carrot next to it, it really draws attention to that part of the ad. Which doesn't make sense to me... shouldn't someone who is exercising NOT have a huge ass?

So that's why when I searched cocaine it wouldn't say "Looking for cocaine? find it on amazon.com!" I really wish I could still get that to happen, it was funny.

When it contains more fat than the rest of your body combined, or is bigger than your entire head.

I'm not convinced of the accident of the Cat next to Jesus.

Nice stuff, though. Don't forget to take child obesity seriously!
