Paid keywords in Google (gone horribly wrong)

[bear]

This was interesting. My son was writing a story, and in it he needed the word "cannibalism", but wasn't sure how to spell it. I then showed him how to search on Google, and find the proper spelling. When it showed the correct spelling, he clicked the link to show the relevant results....and was presented with one "sponsored listing" in addition to the info he wanted.

It said:
Sponsored Links
Sexy Cannibalism Singles
Free photos, personals and hot
profiles of local singles. Free

Yup, targetted, purchased keywords...a good idea. :rolleyes:

Yeah, there's some pretty weird stuff. Along with things that just don't make sense; this was on the right hand side...

Wouldn't mind buying a Cannibal or two off ebay .. It seems that eBay do a lot of adwords advertising for a lot of common keywords .. but I can't see cannibalism being a common keyword.
