I apologize if this thread has been started by someone else; I looked briefly and haven’t seen it. So, has anyone seen any cool Google ads so far? Ever since I saw the announcement I’ve been opening promising threads, looking for something interesting. But no Google ads for Kool-Aid; none for Pirate porn; none for pie; none for Darwin. The only interesting one I’ve seen so far was in a thread on Hurrican Rita, that linked to Red Cross’s Donation page. And that’s not that cool. Let’s hear what you’ve seen and in which threads!

I know this isn’t what you meant, but it was interesting nonetheless. [http://mattwalsh.com/twiki/pub/Main/GoogleBillboardContestFindingPrimesInE/IMG\_0742.JPG](http://mattwalsh.com/twiki/pub/Main/GoogleBillboardContestFindingPrimesInE/IMG_0742.JPG) ---

Nifty! And I’m actually kind of entertained by the complete lack of on-thread response. Once the evil Google spiders do their work, maybe there will be something to discuss. Daniel ---

99% of the Google ads I’ve seen so far are AmeriList Mailing List Co Mailing Lists Opt-Intelligence, Inc (with a new word: “Monetize”) Mailing Lists That Work All decidedly NOT cool. ---

I finally saw a non-mailing list ad. In the Staff Reports thread about saying “cheese” when photographed, the ads were for places to buy cheese. I find it kind of entertaining when the ads are only superficially related to the topic. ---

Here’s a Google Ad I’d click on: \*Put SDMB Admins and Moderators on obnoxious mailing lists. We’ll make sure they get hundreds of SPAM E-Mails per day informing them about penis enlargerment methods, barely legal teens just 1 day past their 18th birthday ready for hot girl-on-girl action, offers from Nigeria to send you millions if you just give them your bank account number … \* I wonder if that posting is against one of the SDMB message board regulations. Perhaps it might be considered making threats against the moderators?
