Irony

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but on a number of occassions, I've noticed the ads by Google above the forum...and recently there has been an ad for crack pipes.

I thought hmmmm. I don't know if this site should be advertising crack pipes. I mean...most of us seem pretty geared toward helping people overcome addiction, and addiction related issues and provide support in that direction. Selling crack pipes just didn't seem to fit.

So, I checked it out. The link to me to a lot of ads for pipes (like plumbing)...and some rehab facilities...but there were also some ads for smoking pipes.

I just found it ironic...and wasn't sure if anyone else had noticed or checked it out.

Sometimes, mistakes are inevitable. As an example:

However, there is something new coming in nearest future to substitute google ads in the forum.

Thanks Gene. I just kept seeing it and it struck me as kind of odd.
