This one is a political ad for a candidate in the U.S. state of Minnesota. I don't know how GoogleAds linked me to this one: - I live in Pennsylvania and am not using a proxy server; - I don't live in Minnesota, never have, and have never been registed to vote there; - I'm not a member of the DFL party, never have been, don't know anyone who is. Given the global reach of the site I figure other people also see ads that just flat miss. Please share yours   ------------- "Peace is the only battle worth waging." Albert Camus |

In Japan that's not come in front of me!  Anyway, I'm a practitioner so GoogleAdSense shows me something like a promo of a medical website. ------------- http://www.facebook.com/damoxt7942" rel="nofollow">

Last election season I kept getting an ad for a guy running for office in Ohio. Ohio is much closer to Michigan than Minnesota is to Pennsylvania, but I still couldn't vote for him.

I had adverts for weeks on end for a mature dating site. One photo was especially tempting, I have to say! Needless to say, as a happily married man, I have never visited such sites. Good try, though. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org Now also broadcasting on www.progzilla.com Every Saturday, 4.00 p.m. UK time! |

About a year ago, i regularly saw ads for cremation services, but have not lately reported anyone having died. I guess they were being hopeful.

I'm currently getting ads for a chain of golf stores in the US featuring an in-store only promotion to trade in your old clubs. I'm on the wrong side of the Atlantic and I haven't picked up a golf club since my last go on Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf when I was approximately twelve. ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia.
