Anyone else notice that quite often the ads that show between the top of the page and the thread are loosly targeted at the content of the thread?

Not the pop ups. I just found it interesting that they were targeting the adverts to the content of the thread.

Rather disturbingly, I now have an advert for inflatable penguins at the bottom of the page. Thanks, NCP!

Re: Adverts
A little ad steering for us non-premium members:
cheap tickets, airfares, heathrow, gatwick, british airways, american airlines, discount flights, travel, london, delta airlines.
OK, let's see what we get...
Hmm. A bunch of Superbowl ads. That's not going to get me a cheap flight back to London!
