Yep - the ads are clearly selected according to the MB content: I vaguely recall now SG saying something about this way back.

It looks a pretty sophisticated programme, but there are some amusing, though understandable, connections - mention of climbing/climbers seems to generate ads for mountaineers, jump to generate ads for horses, the sprinter's fish jersey to ads for aquaria and reefs,....

So watch what you post! Even your name might generate specific ads, eh pugdog?
