re: #61 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Not to start a big Creationism debate, but there was a banner ad at the very top of LGF…”Creation Help, a source for Pastors and Priests” “For help preserving the creation story”.

Paraphrased, when I went to comments it disappeared, that’s what I can remember.

Just thought it was a little funny.

The whole “targeted ads” schtick is so much BS. All those algorithms do is count words, and stick ads on pages with high counts. They are completely unsophisticated in their selection, so if the word “creationism” pops up frequently, it’ll get an ad targeting creationists, even if the page in question is a site wholly critical of the subject.

I would never pay more for such a service than I would for a service that simply placed ads at random.
