More Inappropriate Ads on News Page

Apr 20, 2006

I was reading a “Strange News” article on MyWay whice truly should have been in a different area, but then I noticed the Google sponsored links along with it and saw yet another instance of the dangers of contextual advertising on news sites. The article was about a man who removed a (removeable) showerhead, turned on the water and jammed the nozzle into his girlfriends mouth until water came out of her nostrils, before breaking her hand. What ads could go with this?

What else but ads for even better showerheads!

I’m sure the victim would be happy to know that there are showerheads with even more pressure so that she can suffer from abuse that is not as boring or lousy.
