Contextual advertising is a bitch. Viagra ads are displayed whenever Coach Smith is featured.

It happens because of the word “dead” just like kunal explains. >.>

It’s stupid to call it “insensitive” ….that implies some sort of intentional action on someone’s part.

“Insensitive” implies there was a chance to be “sensitive” that was missed, and that is not the case here (most likely).

I guess its one of the Google Adsense ads which picked up the “dead” keyword and put up the life insurance ads. I think you can’t filter them to that level though although a few filters are available.

Yeah, it’s most definitely out of place. But like you said, it’s probably a complete accident. I mean, this sort of thing is bound to happen when a site is serving ads randomly/contextually.

No, it doesn’t, since I do have to see any ads, because I’m intelligent enough to take action so that things that annoy me no longer do so.

Sometimes those Google Ads are a little TOO good.
