I'm sure we all notice each time a totally inappropriate Google ad shows up. A few examples I've seen recently:
- A page about King Crimson's song "The Court of the Crimson King" is accompanied by ads for getting a job as a court reporter and court-accepted anger-management classes.
- When I created a recent post on the book Get Me Out (about the history of childbirth), Blogger thought I was having a C-section and might be interested getting "a Free C-Section Info Kit and Learn to Prevent Internal Scarring."
- A story about that waste of paper called the Yellow Pages brings up ads for the Yellow Pages.
"Keywords are not context."
I'm going to print that on a T-shirt.

I have been amused by some of these popup ads myself. I once posted a blog complaining about a product only to have an ad for that product popup.
I should remember this point the next time someone asks me if computers can't just make the indexes for books these days.
