So, apparently, if you write about poop and then throw a Google AdSense skyscraper on your website (it’s over in the right-hand column), the ads that show up in said skyscraper are all poop-related.

I wouldn’t want you to miss out on the fun, so, just in case they are no longer there by the time you read this, here is a sampling of ads that currently appear in the aforementioned space:

• Are you Constipated?
  Use Colon care supplements to get regular bowel movements and more. [Editor’s note: “… and more”?!]
• Experience Colon Cleanser
  Can Death Begin in the Colon?

My personal favorite:

• Super Fart Spray
  Retail or Wholesale, Great Prices Horrible Smell in an Aerosol Can!

And, lastly:

• Crepitation Contest
  The Original Farting Contest Paul Boomer vs. Lord Windesmere.

I don’t know if the “Wow, I gotta get me some of that there Super Fart Spray!” crowd is the demographic I’m looking to reach here.

According to Google AdSense Customer Support, there is no way to block ads using keywords—keywords such as “fart,” “colon,” “constipated” and “bowel movement,” for example. Instead, I must manually enter into the AdSense system the actual URLs for each advertiser whose ads I do not want to appear on the site—and even then it can take up to a week for the blocking to go into effect.

Meanwhile, I’m sure that I’m only prolonging the agony by now posting an entry about poop and the poop-related content in the ads.

What a truly shitty blog.
