Travis Smith: my resume, bio and photos back to the main blog page

This is the latest example of poor Google ad juxtaposition

http://www.hopstudios.com/nep/five/bad_example_of_adjacent_ads.jpg

If I had to guess what happened, I'd predict that the automatic filter here saw "man pleads guilty" and "2nd charge" and used that for one ad with the headline "Accused of Rape" and the other ad for "Microsoft License Experts." While it's bad that a piracy case gets an ad for rape, I think it's twice as bad that rape and Microsoft licensing are somehow associated.
