Have any of you noticed how ridiculous some of the sites that appear on my GoogleAds are? If you don't know what that is, it's on the sidebar, right at the bottom. On the day I am writing this, it is linking to a site called "The Coming World War", that apparently predicts, on advice from Nostradamus, the third world war between 2008 - 2012.
The other day it was about the next and final Pope, who will apparently be an imposter of Pope John Paul II, and will be a physical form of Satan... Right.
The ads are supposed to represent similar topics to the stuff I actually write about. So... um... maybe I'm subliminally writing about the apocalypse and the doom of the world and all things dark and evil. Maybe I need all those candles being made from the chocolate-bacon person.
When someone clicks the ad, it gives me a few cents, that eventually add up to lots of cents. So if you feel so inclined, click it. Sometimes I click it out of sheer amusement at what it tells me - like that it likes the jumper I'm wearing and how my hair is today, but not as much as it liked it last week when it was all windswept, and that it has my daughter, and to leave a brown paper bag with the money in the post box outside my house.
In fact, pretty much the only problem I have with what the ads offer me is that there is no cheap Viagra. Guess I'll have to rely on my emails for those.
Just to see what sort of ad comes up, here are some random words:
Mongolia. Cupcake. Doodle. Blankets. Serial Drama. Mel Gibson. Bacon. I Love Chicken. I Love Liver. Meowmix. Meowmix. Please. Deliver.

They have MySpace ads like that too. I always get Jesus ones and stuff about Jack Bauer...
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ: Real Story.
ReplyDeleteNow read what Jesus really taught! Why did God become Man and die?
What was the actual message?
I've never seen the MySpace ads. I'm impressed yours has Jack Bauer. Did you see the shirt with him on it on that tshirt site?
I did indeed.
ReplyDeleteBauer Power.
Thought of getting one for Josh for his birthday, but I think he'd like another one I saw on a different website that said:
WTFWJD?
Have you seen the one that says "What Wouldn't Jesus Do?"?
ReplyDeleteI'm considering collecting images of these Jesus shirts to see what response they get. Do you think they're offensive? Would there be places you wouldn't wear some - eg. Church? And if that is the case... does this make them wrong?
Yeees I have.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the one that says
"Jesus Saves!
Passes to Moses...
He shoots, he scores!"?
I don't find them offensive. Some people might. Some of them are funny, and some of them are just... corny. I wouldn't have a problem wearing them to church I don't think. Maybe I wouldn't wear WTFWJD because of the 'swearing' in it, and I'm meant to be a 'youth leader'.
I don't know why that's in inverted commas. Or whatever they are.
Loving the random Google ads. I'm looking forward to finding out what Christ REALY taught, it'll be a hoot!
ReplyDeleteOn the side, how much $$ do you get for the ads? I'm always up for new business ventures
If it gives you money, why not just sit there clicking it for hours?
ReplyDeleteSime: I dunno how much it is a click, but eventually it'll be $100? It's real slow to build anyway, but if you like I'll send you the link. Or maybe just refer you to some cheap Viagra.
ReplyDeleteEm: Thou canst click but once 'tween whence the sun doth rise and whence the sun doth set. But if you feel like clicking it for me once a day as well... go ahead. I'll give you twenty cents. And then you'll give that to Africa Aid.
Ben,
ReplyDeleteI'd rather the vigra over the link. THanks, just whack it on my desk when you come into the office next...
