The Magic of Advertising

Here's a fun fact that I find completely hysterical. Since my writing is something that I enjoy immensely and hope to turn into a career someday (like I don't have enough other things to do,) I was willing to allow Google to place some ads on my blog. They're pretty small; I don't find them to be too disturbing or obnoxious. Here's the funny, or mad scientist with brilliant, evil plan part, whichever camp you prefer to be a part of. The ads change according to the content of my blog posts! I know, I know, all you people in advertising are going, "Well, duh! Of course they do. Big deal." I, however, having no working knowledge at all of advertising find it TOTALLY FREAKING HILARIOUS.
For example, the other day I mentioned the word "vomit" several times in a post, and within hours an ad for personal vomit containment (airsick) bags appeared on my site. Another day I mentioned my desire to have a "free from the potty" party when all of my kids are old enough to go to the bathroom by themselves, and shortly an ad for a company that builds glass toilet partitions and partition hinges appeared, along with an ad for professional restroom cleaners. I'm seriously thinking of checking into the professional restroom cleaners. I could SO use their services.
Naturally, the immature, teenage boy part of my brain started going crazy. WOW, the possibilities here are infinite. I am really having to fight the urge to write one long post full of every embarrassing personal hygiene product I've ever heard of, along with every obscure medical condition I can think of, just to see which ads come up. I mean, toilets and vomit are a good place to start, but really, you start mentioning things like sex and alcohol and the sky's the limit. This just went from a site that caters to women to one that anyone can enjoy! Okay, okay fine. I promise to keep it clean. Well, sorta clean. Oh, alright, a little dusty with the occasional pile of dog poop. On your foot. That makes you drop the F-bomb in front of your kids. You were warned.
