Sometimes automated recommendations go very, very wrong.
While looking at a friend’s engagement announcement in the Shelby (NC) Star, this ad appeared.
“Woman says man had sex with dog. 38 people recommend this.”
“Police: $6 sex act leads to prostitution charge. 98 people recommend this.”

I don’t know about you, but I have my doubts about the heart-friendliness of anything on Steak & Shake’s menu.
Thanks to my friend Austin for sharing this.

Sometimes targeted banner ad campaigns display some silly stuff. But I’ve never seen it screw up three times on one page. Check this out.

I just read this great article at Ecorazzi about Mayim Bialik (Blossom, The Big Bang Theory) and her green lifestyle.
She’s talking about how her whole family lives minimally in order to leave a smaller eco footprint. She makes sacrifices like eliminating paper towels and unnecessary electronics to help the environment.

Nothing says kiss me like sittin’ on the potty!
Fletcher’s children’s laxative now comes with a free Softlips lip gloss. Um… ewww.
Maybe their slogan should be “Soften your lips while we soften your stools.”

Poor little Kim. Can’t seem to catch a break.
These poorly placed news articles lead one to believe North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il donated stolen cash to Japan’s earthquake relief.
Guess that’s what you get for being a ruthless tyrant.
Happy Friday.

Today’s misplaced mayhem is brought to you by Google AdSense and ironically features one of Google’s own ads.
Notice the ad for the Google Phone with the clever slogan “Learn More” placed on this page at NaturalNews.com about how cell phones affect brain glucose levels. (Click the picture for a bigger view.)
I tried it myself and the ad is still pulling.
Thanks to my friend Scott for shooting this my way.

At the Firehouse Fish-n-Fixens in Gastonia, NC, you can get your choice of a stylish set of 5 legs or a delicious cat filet for only $6.99. With prices that cheap, I guess they couldn’t afford more letters for their reader board.
[Sorry for the poor quality on this photo. I snapped it with my Blackberry on the way to take my son to school.]

This is my own, unedited screen cap.
The interview is with Former U.S. President Bill Clinton on how he has adopted a plant-based diet after undergoing quadruple bi-pass surgery and having two stents inserted into his arteries.
A 15-second commercial for Sonic also ran prior to the video.
Sometimes God just smiles on me.
