Oh, yuck!
So I stayed up and finished that last story, right?
I published it, then – as if my habit – proofed it by reading it on my blog’s front page.
The ads were … well, they were kinda strange.
The first one read: How Many Homeless People? State by state homelessness data included in new NAEH report.
Well, I wrote a story that had homeless people in it, so okay.
The one under it said: Homeless housing programs Low-cost housing tips and reminders Assistance for low-income families.
Okay, kinda creepy, given the story, but okay.
The third one was: A 9mm is False Protection Discover What Survivalist Masters & The Army Don’t Want You To Know.
What the … ?
The final one said: R/Client Software Case Management and funder reporting for human services.
Yeah … right.
Y’know, if this wasn’t a deliberate joke by Google, then it’s one hell of a coincidence!
It’s weirder than you think. I got a blood pressure ad, one for adoption, another for child poverty, and a homeless shelter. Then at the top, a big fat banner for tents for camping out. ??
Google works in mysterious ways.
PS. That story was seriously creepy. Stephen King would be proud.
