Gmail's advertising robot is on crack again.
Edited on Sun Sep-03-06 06:00 PM by LeftyMom
The ad I'm getting right now is for a company that does websites for animal breeders. Almost as bad as the time I was getting an advertisement for turduckhen while sending emails about vegan thanksgiving recipes. Anybody else have examples of really badly targeted advertising?

Edit: I've also got advertisements for "game meats." But I get ads for vegan stuff all the time, so apparently the software that does the advertising thinks I have multiple personalities.
