When Ad placement goes bad...
Spotted this on Fark: a news story about how a guy had his truck reposessed at a gas station without the repo men realizing that his daughter was still in it. The advert that ran in the story struck me as being a little, erm, badly thought out...
Of course, this sort of thing is generated automatically, but it still strikes me as being in bad taste: rather like the advert for a tropical vacation I saw (complete with people longing on the beach) that ran in a TV news cast just after a story about the SE Asian Tsunami with footage from some people who were on vacation at the time...
