Throughout the site, in an effort to raise revenue to pay for our server costs, we've implemented google ads. These are served up 'contextually“ - that is, Google reads the page, and then tries to match a relevant ad to the content.
So, for example, our post earlier today entitled ”Cubicle Warhol“ currently has ads for ”Signed Andy Warhol Prints“. Go to our Saturday Night at the Movies feature, and you'll probably get ads for movies or popcorn. Richard's regular Comic Book Review gets similarly relevant results, and our KC Armstrong interview is currently advertising ”Substance Abuse Help“, so it's frighteningly relevant on that one.
With this in mind, can someone tell me why, for the last several weeks, the front page of YesButNoButYes has exclusively featured ads for the service shown in the above photo (I'm not going to name it as that will just make the problem worse). I've scanned the page over and over again, but can't find a single word or phrase that would trigger such a specific association. So I ask you all to take a look - what the heck is going on here?
Oh, and while you're at it, click some of those google links for us - we get paid a few cents every time you do :)

So why has it stopped?
Long boring explanation which I can best summarize as "I changed the code".
