Contextual Advertising gone awry

I remember the first time I encountered contextual advertising, I was a bit ticked off that I was being pitched based on what I was surfing. Over the years 99.999% of Googles contextual ads have become background white noise, I essentially ignore them.
But today I had to get a chuckle, I cleaned out my GMail spam box and this ad appeared above my now empty spam box.
Sometimes Google is too literal. Spam Skillet Casseroles - well that’s ONE way to get rid of spam!
