Ey, Dragyn.

I know you don't put up the ads here, but do you get any say in what sort appear on the forum?

Cuz I keep getting political ads, and I know how you hate those.

Unless I pay them, I'm afraid I have almost no control.

If you really want interesting ads, though, just bear in mind that it's Google ads, so if we say a bunch of weird stuff, weird stuff shows up.

If there's one thing I learned from Concerned, it was the Monkey Chow bit.

Concerned was a webcomic about a game called Half-Life.  In his notes, he made a long, rambling paragraph about monkeys loving monkey chow, just to see what Google ads did with it.

There were many ads for Monkey Chow.

...and I doubt I'm the only one not surprised by your ads, Fox...

It doesn't matter what forum I'm on, or what I'm talking about. The topic could be about world peace or something....I always get Zim, RP, or Fox News ads. XD

*looks at the ads now and edits*
Dream of Mirror Online....Fox News....of course.

Underwear.

I now have ads for underwear. --disturbing ads.

"Top 6 websites for Underwear Girls" !?
"Men's Bikinis"?
"Shop Disposable Underwear"?

I know that the computers here at school use a common gateway IP, and that's how google keeps track of the data it gathers for ads cookies and click thrus, so this stuff is an amalgum of what get's searched/read about here at the college, but this is still a creepy vibe.

I would rather not have acquired this insight into the websurfing habits of my peers, even if it meant another day of Barak Obama's leeringly false smile at the top of this page.

Google likes to talk about itself.  It's pompous like that.

Uh, yeah...ya' know, Bloodreaper, I think they have to have been on the computer you were on for that to happen...

All the ads I'm getting right now are either for Google, or sites with the name "Weird Stuff."

A pompous search engine...   ;D

So, you look up stuff "Weird Stuff?"
I do that, a lot, myself... but it never says that, directly.   :)

Right now, I'm on my Mom's login, and it says "Google Earth" here, too, as well as "Google Maps..." and... more about itself...   ;D

I find this topic humerous, actually...   :D
