Why does an ad for The Man, a movie starring Samuel L. Jackson apparently, keep showing atop the Nightly pages, like nearly half the time??

Does Nightly have some kind of agreement we all don't know about?

Or does it just plop up there because of the words on the given page??

I never think about the future. It comes soon enough.

Sports Jeopardy - the hardest sports game on the web ... well not really. Game 23, a Champions-only edition won by Darth Wicket!

ESPN is evil. Deal with it.

It iz!

There it was again!

It's unnerving watching a toasted Jedi master staring right back at you - and with his out-of-council hair no less!

And with that bushy-eye-browed father from those geeky new coming-of-age films looking at him! He must be wondering why a dead Jedi master is on the other side of the screen from him.

Initially, GoogleAds brings up ads that match keywords on the page. From there, they use a trial-and-error process to see which ads get clicked and which ones don't. Ads that get clicked a lot stay around.

So yeah, that ad has been around a lot the past couple days, but that's only because people have been clicking on it like crazy. If people weren't, it would change to something else.

So you see, dear readers, it's really all your fault. [Razz]

Ummm....I don't know what this means....but a giant iceberg just winked at me.

I think he hires a brigade of clickers that go about randomly clicking on GoogleAds to get more money..
