At first, I thought it was my fault but, pretty sure it's not. Though, I have been in error (maybe) once before.

Would appear to me that some of the advertising on Pennock's violates the forum's rules. Not that I really care, I'm not easily offended. Just thought it was interesting.

What have you been googling? Google search is as restrictive as their ads. As long as it brings in money they don't care.
Right now most of my ads are for video games. Go figure...
I don't share a computer with Lisa so I don't see ads for things she searches for, perhaps your SO is searching for something to surprise you.

I guess that makes sense, I did look for some Tee Shirts for my motorcycle event, not like the ones I saw advertised on this site but, I guess I'll plead guilty as charged.

Ironically, some of the Google ads seem to skirt the "decency guidelines" that Google imposes on PFF, in order to be eligible for ads in the first place. IMO that's hypocritical.

This one looks like a felony waiting to happen


Welp, picture uploader not working for me

hmmm...
test postimage..

^ You used a different image host service.

I was trying (unsuccessfully) to use the built into the reply screen image hosting option


Anyways, the ad was for something that looked very much like a silencer/ suppressor for a firearm, but being advertised as an automotive filter.

At first glance, it looked like the helicopter was delivering Fieros.

Yes. I stated that, & that I was testing it. It's called postimage.

Those ads are also appearing in YouTube videos. Freaking hilarious!

Yes, That ad was for a "can" that maker fooled google to run that.

To me, this one is trying to trick more then just Google....

Anything running google ads get same ads as YT and every service Google has so shouldn't surprise any that sees it here.
PFF et al has no choice and no control of adsense and other ad farms.

That pic reminds me of a parking lot and road/intersection I hovered a UH-1 over once in Oklahoma while our crew chief pulled folks on board. The difference is, the parking lot and road was flooded and we were picking folks up off the tops of their covered vehicles. Pulled folks off of the cabs of pick ups and vans. A Fiero would not have stood out with water as deep as it was. Sorry, just reminiscing about the good ole days.

I did that for a month in 1970 when a typhoon flooded 1/2 of Vietnam and the war basically came to a screeching halt. People and everything they owned, which wasn't much. Really got tired of pulling in and stacking crates of chickens and squealing piglets. It wasn't without risks tho.

An ad at the bottom of one topic I visited today.


Diablo 12 Gauge Pistols, Nickel and Blued Finish Collectors Set with Rosewood Finish Grips



I have five very old 45 derringers. I was wondering if they would fire a 410 shotgun shell. Of course many variables but I promised my Dad I would not try to even shoot them, till after he died (his request).

Dayum ! A 12 guage derringer would pack a punch.
