Ok, so I'm a little slow, but here's how it goes. The other day I was reading the post Marcus wrote me regarding a television show that he and I watch, and about how I really need to watch all of The West Wing episodes as well. After I posted something back I noticed the little box of Google ads toward the top of the page. And the weirdest thing was that the ads were for The West Wing DVD's. And I thought that coincidence was really strange...puzzling actually. Weird!
Then, tonight I noticed that Josh had created a coffee poll. I answered the question and then noticed there were coffee ads in the Google box. Again, I thought that was really strange (still not getting it). When it happened a third time I finally realized the connection. Wow, am I slow or what! However, it kinda creeps me out - it's like someone's always watching...

Beware the foe
The flake and the slacker
The distracted listener
Flee before her

Defending protector
Of the trodden down
The miscreants get their
Just deserts

Man, have you guys taken any of the links (ads) just for kicks? I mean 80% of them are put up there by Christian wacko fringe groups. That says something: 80% of the advertising done by Christians represents about 10% of actual Christianity.

You’ve got your methods
I’m done with trying to guess all your moves
I’m going where you want me to go
I’ve got nothing left to lose
Now I don’t wanna suffer
But that’s in fact the nature of the beast
If you want to get to higher ground
You got to get there on your knees

Terry Taylor

And what's up with this "christianlifestyle" site advertising hot singles?

Might be worth the extra $$
