I wonder whether hidari anticipated so many replied from an innocent question.

I'm getting all t-shirt ads now.

zelda_pinwheel · 08-21-2008, 02:15 PM

oh, y'all. just LOOK at the ads google gave me this time (particularly the third one) :

DixieGal · 08-21-2008, 02:17 PM

I cry thee foul! That can't possibly be real - and why would anyone buy it?

nekokami · 08-21-2008, 02:19 PM

Er... I'm afraid I'm having a little trouble believing that one myself, O Great Queen.

i promise you it is a real ad which i did not invent (swear on my honor, and on the head of a llama), but i have no idea why anyone would buy it.

nekokami · 08-21-2008, 02:20 PM

To be more clear, I believe the ad was real, but I am a wee bit suspicious of the title.

zelda_pinwheel · 08-21-2008, 02:21 PM

of course now i'm back to my habitual bookeen + that pdf thing with a FREE white paper.

edit : if the previous title is false, i swear it was falsified by google, and not by me.

DixieGal · 08-21-2008, 02:24 PM

I went to that llama poo picker website. I think it is an actual business, but I'm not sure if they are selling ATV's, horses, or llama poo. I didn't see any actual llamas.

nekokami · 08-21-2008, 02:25 PM

Well, some companies do generate truly bizarre ad link titles, trying to sucker you into clicking on their link despite the fact that it has nothing whatsoever to do with your search terms.

zelda_pinwheel · 08-21-2008, 02:25 PM

and i just did a google search for "alpaca & llama poo picker" (which, might i add, is definitely a phrase i would not have anticipated one day searching for) and the phrase came out in every result on the first page (at least)...

Is llama poo picker a person or a thing?
