red_strip_yahoo_contextual.jpg

There’s just no end to the fuckery contextual advertising delivers. This time, we have Red Stripe beer advertising directly next to a story about two guys who got arrested while driving the same truck…together…while drunk. Even weirder, one of the guys was a paraplegic so he steered while his friend worked the pedals. You just can’t make this shit up.
