Who’s Got Cat Sick? eBay Does!

After watching some great videos of Newscasters screwing up this morning, I decided to go and read some “Odd News” stories. I’m not sure which was more strange, the stories or the ads around them. The first article on today’s list was pretty obvious (Why People Have Sex: It Feels Good) and I expected some real fun with the ads, but oddly enough they were pretty sedate. Nothing to talk about really.

The real fun started with the second one, Call Police if Offered Women’s Undies. Go there yourself and I’m sure you will see the ads for “Trashy Lingerie,” “Honeymoon Lingerie,” or “Trendy Women’s Intimates.” If you’re really lucky you might see an ad for “lingerie in Leather” as I saw.

Now it gets good. The next story, Dead Cats Found After High-Speed Chase talks about a man who used the excuse that he was rushing his sick cat to the vet, and of course they later found lots of sick and dead cats in his home in the typical animal hoarding type of case. I never really got to the article because I was distracted by the ads from Ask.com at the top of the page. I can see the ad for “Owning a Healthy Cat” here, but why is eBay asking if I am looking for cat sick?
