I get Google ads alongside my Gmail, something that doesn't bother me in the slightest, because most of the time I barely notice them. (I can read a newspaper and miss most of the advertising.)
But I have to wonder at the the appropriateness of the some of the ads that do turn up. Alongside a poem in an email today were the ads listed below. The poem was about seeing dance in every movement of life, and it's a nice piece by Mitch Roberson called Every Day We Are Dancers. The bit about the two men carrying a huge mirror across the road is particularly neat.
So let's look at these ads, and see if Google has lost the plot or not in its ad placement.
Building Report
Leak and Building Inspections. Free Treated Timber Testing Service
Okay, there's a mention of a building in the poem, so perhaps this is apt - there's another building ad further down, but nowhere is there any mention of leakage. Unless the fact that the poem starts off in a shower is the connection.

There are two ads relating to books, but the poem doesn't have time for anything but for itself to be read.

The only mention of a car is in the middle of the word, macarena. Bit of a long shot, that one.

No windows, drivers, or downloads in the poem. Not even someone driving down the street.

Hmm, it looks as if Google bummed out almost completely on this one. Maybe it's Have a random Google ad Day.
