Google never misses an opportunity
Aug. 30th, 2005 04:31 pmAs I've been keeping track of the devastation in New Orleans, I found this one website that had an article about the SuperDome losing its roof.
As I scanned the page, I noticed this Google Ad right above the picture of the SuperDome roof. Of course, the Google Ads are contextually random (they read the text nearby and display an ad that relates to the text), but I was amused to see this particular ad right above the SuperDome with its roof ripped off:

Talk about opportunistic! If this had been on purpose, it might have been insensitive. But seeing as how it's somewhat random, it amuses me.
