I enjoyed reading the many reports on ripoffreport and have even seen old baits of mine like TNT Courier.

It is interesting that "RipoffReport" carries advertising for "Get Rich Quick" schemes.

^^^ The advertising is placed there by Google, and it is automatically selected to appeal to someone who is interested in the content of the website. Ripoff deals with Get Rich Quick schemes, so the computer put two and two together and came up with 15. As usual.

@Titiana

Yeah google has been pretty harshly criticized for some of that advertising.

News articles telling stories of school shootings had google ads next to them advertising guns.

9-11-2001 news had google ads that were advertising cheap airfare.

I guess you can't teach a computer to not be tasteless or inappropriate..
