Too weird for words.

February 19th, 2008 @ 8:24 pm - by NMC · 12 Comments

This is weirder than Ann Coulter advertisements on Folo. Ok, so we have here a weblog that is, uh, excruciatingly focused on the whole Dickie Scruggs mess. What do we get? An advertisment for mesothelioma attorneys. That would be the form of lung cancer associated with asbestos, I think. Google ads are pretty weird. Is this Dickie Scruggs, This is Your Life or is it ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny?

    I like the ad “Is you love cheating on you” Damn, no offense but give me a break, Dah!!

    Hey sportsfans, we can sign up for Newt Gingrinch’s FREE weekly email too. And to think I thought this was a middle of the road to liberal site. Whodathunkit?

    Lotus, you asleep at the wheel or is your golf game impacting your politics more than you”re letting on? (smile) What’s next, Ann Coulter Book of the Month club?

  4. Stormy says:

    Hey, I could really care less what the ads are as long as the site keeps going. I’m sure that there is a possibilty of seeing worse, we could e watching the – see dick play golf, ha!!

  5. shaveswithaoccamsrazor says:

    Me either, its just humorous…but then I can tend to be easily amused.

    there was one for surveillance gear.

    i actually bought some dogstuff. there were some pretty funny greeting cards and a good sale on kinda italian rustic feeding bowls. disclaimer: i don’t get a cut. oh, and i signed some anti torture petition. at least i hope that’s what i signed. lotus, i think it’s time you set up your own flea market.

    An interesting dichotomy there, Lotus. I’ll go with “this is your life”, because the other one just sounds too pessimistic for me.

    Thanks to AdBlock, I don’t see most of the ads here, but I love the dogstuff ones. The one yesterday with the kitten clinging to the dog’s head was wonderful.

    Y’all can imagine my delight in discovering that folo strikes mindless GoogleAds as a natural target for rightwing advertisers (we say “Mississippi” so much here, you know).

    No doubt that also explains the muscadine-seeds ad (just the thing for when you run out of something to spit?). And as I live and breathe, we got “Earl Scruggs Ringtones” on offer too!

    My penance for caring about Mississippi, I guess. Oh well, one friend consoles that she enjoys transferring wingnut wealth to me, even if it’s just pennies per click. (Yah, and I’ve amassed a whole $160 of it month-to-date!) “Join the GOP”? At least that one doesn’t require looking at AC.

    More people are finding folo.us every day, though, and maybe many of them actually like looking at her and NG.

    Of course, others may take one look at those ads then this blogroll and figure that I, not Google, have lost my mind. (Surely folo’s is the only blogroll on the whole World Wide Web where “Obsidian Wings” and “Overlawyered” are neighbors.)

    But now, doesn’t dogstuff’s Golden with the mouthful of tennis balls remind you of our Cajun Valentine?

    Ah, commerce . . .

    I click on all the ads as many times as I can, each and every time I visit. Some of them are kind of funny. I, too, have bought some things from dogstuff — I have 3 dogs, so I really like that site.

    I would rather see a babe of the day or daily thong pic in those spots.

    Well I haven’t clicked on the muscadine seed ad, but then again, I already grow my own. Love em. So be gentle to some of us country cousins lotus. ;)

    TL, I defy you to love ‘em more than I do! What I’d give to be able to grow my own too — but my lot’s all deep shade. Can’t grow figs either, waaaah. What I get for loving trees and shoe-horning my house into the middle of ‘em.
