Inappropriate Google Ads

Sometimes Ads are placed dynamically at the most inapproriate places. Take this example:

A report on the trobles at Bangkok airport accompanied by ads for (you've guessed it) flights to Thailand.

Well I thought it was amusing [:#]

A few years ago if you googled pretty much anything you'd get an ebay ad offering it - irrelevant of whether it was for sale on ebay or not.


There were a few interesting examples which are difficult to share in these far more politically correct times and would probably break many of the rules of this forum as well..... A classic example that comes to mins was a screenshot from some children researching slavery for a school project.....
