Interesting Elvis...I just had a look and the advert is for an Aussie Car Insurance website. Must keep an eye out to see what else there is in future.

Cheers, Vince

I think the adds pop up from similar sites you have been looking at or searching for.
So I think Bushy has some explaining to do!

Ahhh Elvis! the polypros are ok for a few hours but they were almost as bad as the cotton tighty whiteys or boxers when I was a grunt. When you get a bad case of crotch rot, you will under Vince and I.

Radar you're killing me Bonk

Yea it does this... well google does it anyway. All adds are fetched through their service so it monitors cookies and other search history on a users machine to try and put up appropriate ads. Obviously it fails often hehe.

Geographic location based on your IP address also determines the ads.
