My favorite are the ones that come in response to my google calendar daily agenda -- today on my list it says: Hair and Marian's bithday -- the ads are for "Steak & Shake denies the deaf" "Original Wallet Pen" "Save on Karen Kingsberry" (who IS Karen Kingberry?) and "Minutes & Video Software." I tell you. it's like a daily visit to the Improv. (OBTW, the French "word" you are looking for is "je ne sais qua" I had to tell you since it is one of my favorite phrases, but I rarely get to use it :0)<BR/><BR/>In answer to your comment on my blog -- No, I looked there and every where.

I will look into that. <BR/><BR/>Hi Athena: I wonder if I talk about Brad Pitt in posts, ads for his latest movies will show up. <BR/><BR/>Hello Margaret: You'd think they could figure out something better. But, maybe I am the stupid one. Maybe people reading posts on Bulgarian cuisine, really, subconsciously want a date with a Bulgarian woman. Google knows this and thus their advertising targets this population. But I doubt it.DineometerDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00428252828073397833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220338956188637874.post-84231033790543193202008-08-04T19:08:00.000-04:002008-08-04T19:08:00.000-04:00You make a really good point about google ads, it ...You make a really good point about google ads, it would really be nice if they vetted the content a bit more.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584529109796665267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220338956188637874.post-42775580446296135982008-08-04T14:28:00.000-04:002008-08-04T14:28:00.000-04:00Hahaha oh, those crazy google ads.
