Google Ad Fail



I begin the day with a healthy dose of tragic irony.  Google, Facebook, and so many other search engines look up your virtual kilt, searching for details about what ads are most likely to be effective, based on what you are reading.  An article about running might produce an ad for Nike’s latest running shoes, for example.

I guess the presence of the words, "oven, "cooked," and "seafood" were enough to trigger the software.  As I read of the tragic death of 62-year old Jose Malena in a giant steamer, please take note of the blackened steak pictured in the ad halfway down the page.



Google ad epic fail.

While I didn’t know Jose, I hope he had a sense of humor.
