Google Ad Experiment Update
Well, it seems like Google doesn't want to play along. I let it sit for quite a while, and the strangest ad that I saw appear was, "Want To Be A Cop? Protect people with a criminal justice degree." But, let's be honest, that's pretty damn weird. How does that work? Is the degree made of Kevlar? Because I'm fairly certain a bullet could penetrate such a degree. Anyway...What did we learn from all this? We learned that there is in fact a band named "Vermicious Knid," and they apparently live in Canada (thanks for the info, Dave). We learned that "Angry Fetus" is not a good band name. However, after some deliberation, I think "Happy Fetus" would be an excellent name for a band -- maybe country rock or indie metal. And, finally, we learned that, given the results of this experiment, Google is simply not funny. Seriously, not one S&M ad? Come on, Google, I thought you had a sense of humor. I thought you were cool.
Shortly after writing this and updating my blog, Google sent me this...
Sorry, Google, but it's just not going to happen. You had your chance. You could have been cool, but it's too late now. Too little, too late. The experiment is over. Maybe next time, though.
Note: For anyone still interested in claiming their own domain name, www.poopiepoop.com is apparently still up for grabs.

Thanks for the props, buddy.
Google can never be cool; they're run by nerds, not hippies.
aww... poor google.
if you ask me, google sounds extremely desperate! haha.. :p
You have a really cool blog here!
Keep on blogging. Matthias.

Ironically earlier i did see google have an ad for getting a criminal justice degree, it looks like it's gone now though
Yeah, Google ads are a big waste. Te only time I see actual ads that could generate money are when I preview a page - never on an actual page. its always a public service announcement of some kind! Oh well, I think Google ads will be coming off my blog soon.
Peace.
dude, you're really cool. your blog just made my day.
i was thinking "poopiepoop and the skintoys"?
Contrary to your statement that Google can't be cool.. If they actually went so far as to send you an ad like the one you showed us, I think thats pretty darn cool(imho). Not to mention that they have an awesome e-mail service! No comment on that other stuff. :-P
God, your blog is hysterical. The Blog version of Fun With Google Ads is more fun than the GMail version I've played with friends. Now you have strangers commenting! :)
you funny, man.
other good band names:
seatbelt sally
salty nub
where's wednesday
b-cup babes
greasy eyebrow
all without the ubiquitous "the"
note alliteration works well here.
How the mighty have fallen.
So.. the blog, "Things I hate about my Flatmate has posted it's final message today.
And with it's un-timely demise, and ludacrisp popularity.. (Crunch!), it appears that the Masses are on-the-move.
Lookin' for the next BIG thang.
And, of course, looking to Blogger's lovelerly 'Blogs of Note' (bottom right corner) to show them the way.
And they will find themselves here.
So... Mr. Intern.
The virtual spotlight is on you, for the time being.
It's a heavy burden to carry.. but we have faith.
Make us proud.

lol yeah that is funny.. i laugh at things online all the time.. *looks strangely at herself*
but then i am online all the time..god..the net really ensnares people!
(sorry was just blog hopping)
Potentially good band names with the word "fetus" in it:
-- Fetus Interruptus (metal)
-- Cletus Fetus (This was Mojo Nixon's second choice)
-- Fetus Ultrasound (house)
-- Siamese Fetus (80's pop punk)
-- Orphan Fetus (lame pop goth)
-- Fetus Bastard (less lame pop goth)
There are, of course, dozens of potentially good band names with the word "fetus" in them that are less savory than these, but I'll leave those up to the professionals.
Choose life. :-)
as i looked at the ads on the post page, an ad appeared talking about my hometown. weird.

I once played guitar in 'Puppy Fetus' (just all-around lame)which is eerily close to 'Poopie Fetus'. Course, we later settled on the more marketable 'Orgasm Puppy'.
Hey, what's the matter? You've got it in for nerds and geeks? Google is great! If Google needs someone to protect them with a criminal justice degree (Kevlar or otherwise), . . .
I guess they'll have to look elsewhere. I don't have one. But don't blame Google for stupid ads; they don't write the ads. They just print them. ANd the filters on AdSense are for "family content" if I understood what I read when I considered putting up AdSense.
Oh, yes, by the way, I like your blog. Mostly. You're linked on my blog.
And now, to join the ranks of those who shamelessly leave their own blogs in an effort to attract traffic from a blog listed in Blogs of Note, please come visit Random Ramblings.
this is brilliant and precisely the reason i wouldn't want to display ads. very funny stuff, though i'm sure you already know that.
I just stumbled across your little hole on the 'net through blogger, and absoultely love your site. the layout is awesome (and sort of got me excited about fixing up my own blog). Your content is original and it fucking kicks ass. Keep it up, i'm going to keep stopping by on a regular basis hopefully!
