Where did that come from?

If you've been reading along here on 9 2 Bay 2 9 2 10 you know that a few months ago I added the little "Ads by Goooogle" to the side of my blog... this is a little bit of 'smart technology' where it scans your text and displays ads that are pertinent to whatever you've blogged about... all and all it's been pretty clever... when my Caribbean vacation was the topic of the month it displayed various ads for cruises and cruise lines.. My 'new prison program' entry prompted Prison Pen Pals ads... and right now - in response to my Pet Peeve #3 entry we have "Nose Filters" ads... I've never even heard of a nose filter!

So today I went in to my own blog - intent on blogging about those little ads - to see exactly what was displaying on my page... What did I find? An ad for "Sexy Girls & Sexy Guys"! HUH??? Where did that come from?? Was it my entry about "Release the Hairs"? eewww! Maybe it was the use of the phrase "frankly some of them lose something to the shrinkage... " double eewww! But no.. I think I figured it out.. it was the one quick reference to "Do you think Wacko Jacko is 'hot'"?? Now that's a HUGE EEEWWWW!! It's almost enough to make one watch what they type or contemplate removal of the ads... one reference to someone being 'hot' and we have potential porn ads... great.. just great... but... then again... maybe we should see if we can influence what kind of ads we get... maybe if I put some ambigous words in bold type we can have a little fun with the Google engine... words like... oh... how about BOOGIE? Will that score us more nose filters or dancing references? How about... PEANUTS.. will we get comics or nuts? ok.. one more.. JAM... will we get fruit spread or music? I guess only time will tell..

Later...
