When Web Ads Go Terribly Wrong

[dr_pretentious]

I took the Dante's Inferno meme quiz years ago, while I was still a grad student and, not surprisingly, I was Wrathful. Now I am less wrathful than I was, but it's still the worst of my high scoring sins, so there I still am, in the 7th circle.

But what really cracks me up is the placement of the ad on the results page:

Dante's Inferno Test--You Have Been Judged
She's Out There...Waiting
Find the girl you've been dreaming of. Why spend another day without her? Find her.
Find a Girlfriend
The wretched King Minos has decided your fate. His tale wraps around his body 7 times.
The sweet light no longer strikes against your eyes. Your shade has been banished to... the Seventh Level of Hell!

Um, maybe that's not the girlfriend I'd want to find?

hee! not only did i get banished to dis for heresy above and beyond the call of duty -- a righteous bust, if there ever was one -- there was a bit of marginalia offering to sell me a lexus suv opposite a question about avarice. ah, that warms my heart more than the fires of hell ever will. *contented sigh*

Oh, that is a beautiful bit of irony.
