Spam

I don't mind Google's contextual ads at all, in fact I hardly see them most of the time. But in my spam folder in Gmail they always bring up recipes for things made of spam. "Tasty Spam goulash", for example.

Dammit all, I had to eat spam when I was a child. Can't you let it rest?

Ah, but install this and you won't have to see any pesky google ads, hilarious intent or otherwise.

Oh, I know that. I'm uncertain how ethical it is to strip adverts from sites I visit for free. While I'm making my mind up about this, I'm leaving the ads in place.

It's a fair point, but since I don't follow the advertised links I view them as a needless distraction. Besides, google's ethics can be slightly whiffy, which eradicates my guilt. :)

You're right about Google, unfortunately.
