Google image search for the 'ad banner' doesn't find anything useful.

Ad banner without the bcf logo.

I'm leaning towards it being a rogue fucked up ad rather than FBI GCHQ NSA.


I saw that one on BCF a short while ago too.

I'm going to blame it on your donated posts Mr. Green

That's the single most offensively wrong ad I've ever seen in all the history of the internet. Shocked

Korn should be ashamed those ads are being shown on his website, I question the legality of such such adverts as people have gone to prison for lesser offences.

Thumbs Down

I get guitar shops top and bottom...

This'un has my next guitar (the turquoise one) next to the amp I shall buy to accompany it:

This'un shows my local guitar shop which has been shut since the boxing day floods, meaning I've had to shop elsewhere for strings etc.

I follow each link every now and then to both drool over the equipment and to generate a bit of moolah for Korn.

I like when we discuss Triumph and get lingerie ads.

Triumph, Triumph, Triumph.

I'm getting RAF recruitment ads for a "Technical Specialist" ...

Looks like they need one because their ads don't even fit properly...

A while back Google used to have a section of the site where you could find out what they think you are for advertising purposes (age, sex, interests, etc). Not sure if that still exists. The old link just asks me about the targeting I want.

I think I was a 55 year old insurance salesman or something. Sounds about right. I get day trading adverts from companies like IG most of the time.

The algo seems to get a bit confused if you go on extended holidays too. I had Canadian adverts for about 2 weeks in the UK, and still get the odd German advert.
