Crazy Ads

The crazy AdSense ads are back. Normally they aren't particularly noticeable but every now and then they get interesting. This time the funny part is the strange combination. Here are the three that are showing for me at the moment:

A Full Colour Female
- IMVU - This is for a strange avatar based chat website where you get to "Choose your look." It is a full colour animated ad. I have had ads for this website before, no idea what it is that I write about that makes them appear. However, in the past it was just a picture of a slightly slutty looking female animated character. This ad is a more extreme version, it features a revolving female figure that keeps changing in look and dress, though she is always dressed a bit like a porn star. The best part is that they are dancing in a circle - very provocatively!

Ads by Google - The other two ads on the page are the smaller texted based ones, where each banner features four ads. The collection of these eight is really strange. Some highlights include:

Parking Based Ads
- Airport Hotel & Parking - This makes sense as I always talk about travel and flying and lately the car. This ad is for leaving your car at a hotel at the airport.
- Valet Parking iPhone Aps - I don't have an iPhone, nor really a car. Also, I could never afford valet parking. However, this just sounds super cool.
- Printed Parking Permits - A company that apparently prints permits to hang in your car, this feels like it might be illegal, a bit like fraud. It is obviously there because I was talking about my parking ticket.

Just Gross
- Treatment For Mucus In Throat - The ad goes into detail in the smaller print "Naturally reduce phlegm, mucus, and throat congestion guaranteed." This is there because I was talking about being sick but really it just sounds disgusting.
