noahgibbs: Me and my teddy bear at Karaoke after a day of RubyKaigi in HIroshima in 2017 (Default)

Go to Google. Type the word comatose. Look over on the right-hand side at the sponsored links. Look at the middle of the three.

You won't be glad you did. But if you don't, the suspense will keep annoying you until you do.

Today's daily trauma is brought to you by the letters W, T and F.

[Update: you can do the same thing with the word 'syphilitic' instead of 'comatose'. It's even funnier/weirder/stupider that way.]

[Update again: they've changed the text, so it now just says 'sexy local singles'. Which kinda spoils our fun.]

I get four links.

Weird. Well, this'll be underwhelming if Google gives different people different links somehow.

What I get as the middle link is 'sexy comatose singles', and it's a link to an adult dating site.

I *assume* it's just using random words. However, that one has some additional possible meaning.

That's what I got.

That was one of the options-- I assumed it was what you meant, but I wanted to check. I've got "sexy womble singles" before, but this is better.

Somebody didn't check the word list very carefully. They also sponsored the word 'syphilitic'.

Have you considered that maybe they did check the word list carefully?

However, they did edit "kinky" out of the list. I get no infobert sponsored link,, and the first one is...

nah, I won't spoil the surprise. There is an eBay link, though, for "EBay & Kinky".
if you must know, the first sponsored link for "kinky" is "TiVo"

it's Necrophilia Lite(TM)!

So I *had* to check "dead". Classic Necrophilia™ came up as the top link. Ewww.

I got only two sponsored links, but the top one was the Sexy Comatose Singles over at infobert.com.

I like how it also links to an eBay success kit. You'd NEED to be comatose to want that.

Yeah, the sexy comatose singles thing is what I meant. Apparently it's semi-random. Huh.

Try "repulsive." Someone really, really didn't look into what they were doing.

Works with "loose," too. But not "incontinent."

lmfao, seriously - wow, people who have that much free time to explore! and even better, to share!

I was looking for a synonym for 'comatose', for a poem thing. But yeah, sharing seemed like a good idea once I found it :-)

hooray for sharing the good stuff!
thx...

Looking for synonyms...(in all the wrong places)

Well, there's always dictionary.reference.com for that, there's a thesaurus link from there.

Good thing "synonyms" and "love" scan so differently. I think "wookin' pa nub" was bad enough.

Link for the lazy

I once got an ad that said "Buy butter recipe on ebay". I don't remember the exact searchthat led to that, unfortunately, or what site it was on.

*lol*
When I went back, it looks like they changed it.
The word still gets that link, but it just says "Sexy local singles" not switching out the adjectives. Maybe they noticed the activity.

Not getting any sidebar ads on "syphilitc" now, and only medical things like "brain injury rehabilitation" on "comatose". Ah well.
