Is Google trying to tell me something?
As you will know yourself when you click a page of the website of many newspapers a handful of Google adverts will appear at the side, ostensibly on topics of related interest.
I have just read a story from a Canadian newspaper about a terror trial in Ontario.
Yesterday Rebecca linked to The Times (of London) with a story about Iranian missiles and the Boston Globe about modern slavery in Arabia.
I can understand that when I am reading a story about Islam or Muslims that Google might think (but wrongly) that I was interested in buying a hijab or joining a Muslim matrimonial agency, some of the other adverts which regularly accompany a story with a Muslim element.
But why are these “Fat loss for idiots” or “Lose ugly fat” adverts popping up on every news item I read?
Are you insinuating that I am fat? Or stupid? Or ugly? Or all three?
Come over here and say that to my face you name calling little searchbot.
Come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough.
