gmail ads - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I don't know how many of you use gmail. But the ads totally crack me up.

The ads are theoretically based on the text of your emails, but once I got cat strollers (I have no cats nor any need for a stroller), and last year they were trying to sell me tickets for USC home games.

And today I got this:

Track your wife
Install a low cost GPS tracking system in their car. Great Prices!

Sweet. Now I can know whether or not Mrs. Meanie really goes to the "grocery store" or if the "grocery store" is just a code word for something else. She does come home with groceries every time she goes but that could just be a crafty ruse...

I love Gmail ads. Especially the Spam recipes when you look at your junk mail folder.

They'll automatically show up on the right hand side of any email that includes the right keywords.

send yourself an email with the phrases baby cribs and Athens, Greece and you'll probably get ads for discount Greek infant formula.

I'm trying to imagine the reaction from my family when I (straight-faced) serve french fry spam casserole.
