I was reading Towleroad this afternoon when I became the unsuspecting victim of bad advertising by Google's Ad[non]sense program. The following is a screen shot of my experience:
If you haven't yet followed the link, Towleroad, "A Site with Homosexual Tendencies," is a popular source for gay and lesbian news online. It is unapologetically liberal, regularly bashing McCain's idiocy as well as advocating against Proposition 8 in California as late.
Typically, the automatically inserted ads by Google's Adsense are the likes of gay dating sites and adoption services or more generic general interest ads. Yet in spite of this context, as you can see above, an ad for Minnesota Senator and Republican dickhead Norm Coleman snuck into my gay escape reading. Surely Google took into account my location (in Minneapolis) in selecting the ad, but come one, really? Coleman?
I'm going to see Coleman's opponent Al Franken speak along with Senator Amy Klobuchar and Bill Clinton tomorrow night downtown. Fuck you, Coleman. You don't deserve the senate seat you stole from Paul Wellstone. Get the fuck off my internet too.
