A huge problem with internet news websites is that they often have ads that accompany them. For instance, if there's a story about eating right, you would see clickable ads for things like diet pills on the side of the webpage. The ads are on the website based on the content in the story. HOWEVER, sometimes just because the content is related, there are times where it doesn't quite "agree" with what's in the story.The clickable ad above from WTOL channel 11's website above is for a nursing home. Now read the story below.

Oh dear. That's an unfortunate placement of the ad, indeed! I have noticed these content related type ads on the internet too. Sometimes they are accurate, sometimes they are related but from a very wrong angle as you talk about here, and sometimes they are related but in a funny way. I guess that's what happens when it is a machine that is just matching up the key words.
Yup. That's badly done (and darkly, darkly amusing). I use gmail and am amused by the ads that wind up on the margin of my email. Keywords are objective little critters. It's a great lesson on determining meaning from context.
