I know I write about politics a fair amount, so it’s not surprising that the Google logic displays political ads on my blog. However, since I write about how much I really dislike Sarah Palin and John McCain, you’d think their algorithm would be smart enough to recognize that and not display ads from their campaign.
Seriously, if I have to look at one more “McCain-Palin: The Original Mavericks” ad (complete with night backdrop and stars), I am going to lose it. On the bright side, however, every time someone clicks on a McCain ad on my blog, it is ten cents less the McCain campaign has to spend. So, maybe displaying these ads is actually a good thing? Liberals, click away!
In brighter news, just two weeks to the election! Woo-hoo!

I used to have a career oriented blog and I would bash Careerbuilder and Monster, and the ads Google would provide were always links to those two sites. I feel your pain.
I am also looking forward to this election, and the campaign ads to disappear.

An algorithm is only as smart as the person or people who write it.

Reading this entry made me crack up. McCain? A Maverick? LOL!
That was true at one time but not anymore.

I was going to write you and tell you how funny I thought this post was, then I looked over at one of the ads next to it and nearly fell off my chair laughing.
It said, “Gay Political Opinion. You too can be gay– it’s free with a money back guarantee!”
What the heck?? LOL!
