STD testing ads

Wow, how's that for an epic fail of automated content-based ad placement?

Seriously, somebody should let google/doubleclick know that the meaning of std in the context of these forums is almost always based on programming. They'll get higher clickthrus and we'll see the most relevant ads when we whitelist your site on adblock (which I have done).

Is there a way the site owners can set this? I bet it boosts clickthru rates to eliminate misplaced ads...

I have... not... gotten those ads. But typing std::list into Google sure is funny.

Hey, you know, those AIs are pretty good at guessing what the user is thinking. Maybe Google is just trying to tell you something about your own body.
