Fun with CNN

This game is similar to the "Consecutive Thread Hilarity" game that is ongoing here. The trick is to look at a news article on CNN.com, and then have fun with the advertisers. They like to roll through the advertisers, so they may be different when someone else looks through the thread. But I've noticed a few times where their keyword matching algorithm has, um, interesting moments. I first started noticing this a few weeks back, but they're getting better.

For example, I was reading this article this morning: http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Midwest/0....ap/index.html. The advertisers listed in the box on the right included:

  • Meet California Girls - Pics
  • Online Dating, Free Profile
  • California Singles
  • Click Here to Meet Girls from California
