The very definition of irony

[Naisy'sCharitableLeanings]

This ad in the middle of the now-closed 'Debt' thread...! Anyone spotted anything similar by way of mismatched ads and thread content? Ads for divorce lawyers in the stag do thread maybe?! The GOT version of that bit at the end of the News Quiz on Radio 4...

The ads are based on previous search history, aren't they?

One for the 'Malgorithms' section of Private Eye.

it's like a free ride when you've already paid.

Has to be more to it than that. Definitely get ads that relate to recent searches, but there's loads that are completely random. For ages I was getting one about 'don't buy another lottery scratchcard until you read this article', what's that about?!

'don't buy another lottery scratchcard until you read this article'

Haha. Okay I won't!!

I thought that but I haven't been anywhere near sites like that or with that kind of content.

And not dissimilar to rain on your wedding day...

Or a death row pardon, two minutes too late.

Irony...seeing your black mate being racially abused by Chinese door staff and then being stabbed from behind by a non-Chinese gang paid for by the club when I asked them to stop being racist.

And probably drink in the wrong places. ...

Dont you think its ironic that the same people being racist had actually hired foreigners to do their dirty work and in effect defend their racism?

Thats pure irony...oh and the place it happened was a fairly decent club in Singapore which we were walking past having been in the wine bar next door with 'company'.
