Google Ad Sense. Ahh! 

Here's what just appeared on my web page via Google Ads. Part outrage. Part irony. The first ad from Christian relief organization, World Vision, asks for your money claiming that there's a famine in India and that your $20 will help children escape lives of horror. Now, where this famine in India is, heaven only knows. To the best of my knowledge, India hasn't had a famine in quite a while, so clearly whoever is responsible for buying keywords for World Vision is being deceptive. Google Ad Sense also manages to serve a generous dose of irony in the same ad space. Watch the other ad in the picture. It says "Invest in India stocks." Not bad, Google.
