More Adsense Nonsense

Awesome! I signed up for Adsense the other day, and it really is amazing. Here's how it works: Some goon over at Google reads the blog, then places relevant ads on the Rant. Then the theory goes that the Faithful Fifteen will see those ads, click on them, and buy something. At least that is the theory. Technically I'm not allowed to click on the ads, so technically I don't know what happens when an ad is clicked on.

The first day that Adsense was on the blog, ads like this one showed up for Grand Canyon Helicopter tours:


Makes some sense, since the Cross Country ride blogs included a helicopter ride, though honestly, how many people will read that report then feel the need to immediately book a helicopter trip? But hey, every click puts me one cent closer to retirement, so keep clicking! Just for the record, so far this silly Adsense subscription has contributed a whopping $3.72 to the blog coffers!

But the crackheads over on 1600 Adsense Drive are obviously overusing their Google Goon Corporate Crystal Meth supply. Today this ad turned up on my blog:

Have a period? Save your cells?? Your Menstrual Stem Cells????

What the FUCK? I checked the archive, and I have NO IDEA what blog post this might apply to.

So please, if you have a period, or a comma, a question mark, or worst of all; a semi-colon... keep it to yourself! I don't need the pennies that badly.
