Google Adsense is contexual advertising.  For those who don’t know what that means, Wikipedia says:

Contextual advertising is the term applied to advertisements appearing on websites or other media, such as content displayed in mobile phones, where the advertisements are selected and served by automated systems based on the content displayed by the user.

So, they scan the pages and try to present advertising that you, the Bitter Readers, want to see.  Here are some gems I’ve seen on this month’s posts:

 Heh.. this one I probably get because I take the “lord’s” name in vain on a few of my posts… maybe.  Or maybe Google thinks we need saving.   Although I find the expression “Jesus Army” quite disturbing, because although I’m not a Christian, I do believe that the man himself was a pacifist.  Although correct me if I’m wrong.

I haven’t visited this website, but I find myself laughing my butt off at the web name… “inside a guy’s mind”.  Hahahaha!  Okay, okay, I don’t want to offend my male readers, because I’m really not anti-male in the least.  But this ad is just… Ugh.  What men really want is a maid who looks and dresses like a Victoria’s Secret model who likes football.  Oh sorry.. did I say that out loud?  Lasting Love Indeed.

 Yes, what we all need… our own smoking shelters.  LOL.  This probably came up because I posted about ‘Smelly Brits’ and the smoking ban in pubs.  You’d think Google would have picked up on that and advertised some lysol or domestos.

Yuck!

This is just so condescending I can hardly think straight.  Broke but beautiful?   I suppose because it reminds me of those creepy guys who say “all women are beautiful”.  Sorry, but they really aren’t.  Some of them are ignorant, annoying, drama-mongering bitches.  But I guess that wouldn’t make snappy ad copy.
