I often take pause at the wide ranging ads that appear in the side columns of this website. Just so you know, these ads are chosen at random and are not in any way selected by myself. I am at the mercy of chance, it seems, and if the folks in the know wish to place a picture ad for adult diapers upon my humble little page, well, who am I to object?
Last week my sister brought to my attention something that had already been disturbing me: an ad for John McCain on my blog. (As you may or may not have heard me mention earlier in the month, The Odd Broad is, and has always been, a neutral, nonpartisan arena.)
That having been said, why was there a McCain ad on my page, and more importantly, why does it feature a picture of him from at least thirty years ago? Are the voters to believe they will be given the option of traveling back in time to cast their ballot for this younger, more youthful version of Mr. McCain? Or perhaps Hermione Granger will let us borrow the time-turner necklace Professor McGonagall lent to her in Year Three?
A crafty, if obvious ruse, the transparency of which I find just a wee bit disturbing. If political campaigns choose to run ads on the internet, especially on my page, include a current photo, if you please.
I just had to clear that up.
Below please find some of the more disturbing ads that have graced the odd pages...

Obama just showed up...along with gospel ringtones. Ahh! There's John McCain again! These ads are out of control...they just pop up, at random, out of nowhere!

The adult diapers ad hasn't been on for awhile...but it's literally a man wearing a diaper. It's the weirdest thing ever.
