Google’s Controversial Advertising Trick
In a move that is sure to anger surfers worldwide, Google, the most popular search engine in the world, has systematically begun replacing searches for certain terms with not-so-subtle advertisements.
In this case, as you can see, I searched for the word ‘masturbation’, but Google claimed no results for that word were found and offered me a suggestion, ’sex for singles’, which was linked to a dating site.
I hesitate to tell you what suggestion they offered when I searched for ‘lube job’.
