The evils of Google Ads

2009-03-02 19:58:10.51721+01 by petronius 1 comments

Sometimes you need a human touch. In Huffington Post, we see a story about some prominant football players lost at sea, and how the Coast Guard found the overturned boat with one person clinging to it. Very sad. Then at the bottom, an automated ad for affordable boat charters from Ft. Meyer Florida. Perhaps there is still a need for editors.

The SFGate article has "Mexico vacations" as one of the side bars, which might be preferable to Florida, though I doubt their Coast Guard is as well equipped as ours.

I think "dildo" as Scrabble word of the day at Hasbro is in the running for "needs a human editor".

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
