All work and no play…

All work and no play…
: Thanks to Aaron Swartz [via hEiko] we have a new Google game: I looked to see what ads Google AdSense would place on my blog. They include:

Surviving Terrorism

Help your family in case of attack…

3’x5′ World Flags $9.95

Buy 6+ polyester flags at $6.00 each or 12+ at $5.00 each….

Israel & Palestine

The occupation is killing us all. Action options to end the conflict…

Man, I gotta lighten up.

So does Glenn Reynolds:

Help ARC Help Iraq

Help the American Refugee Committee provide relief in Iraq….

Help the Iraqi People

All of your tax-deductible gift goes to Iraq humanitarian relief…

Now look at what it would place on Gawker:

Google

Grand Canyon Helicopters

Helicopter Tours,Canyon Hotel Rooms Las Vegas & Grand Canyon, Savings…

Fun, fun, fun.

Now Raymi:

Day Quit Smoking Plan

Ends Addiction Quickly, Gently, Repairs Damage to Skin & Body…

San Diego Hypnosis Center

Rapid results for smoking, stress, weight loss, and emotional issues.

I could think of a few more endemic advertisers.

    Jeff, are you going to let Gawker get away with calling you a “Conde Nasty”?
    Well I never.

    Blogspot does the same thing. It tailors the ads it shows by what you write on your site.

    If you want patriotic lapel pins and flags, my site’s got you covered. Weak.
    Maybe I ought to lighten up a bit, too. Might link to NakedNews.com.

    Trying to figure out what I did wrong as I got all charities and figured it might be this:
    robots.txt
    #go away
    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /
    Google didn’t spider my site.
