I'm getting sick of those domain squatters that are pretending to be useful, so they can get a bit of ad revenue, but contain a stupid mismash of vaguely relevant but pretty much useless links. Especially the one with the slogan "What you need, when you need it." (Of course, now that I want to kvetch about it, I can't find one with that particular slogan on it.)

Of course, eBay started it. Maybe. All those stupid text ads, showing up in the search results for nearly anything:

Random Crap Whatever you're looking for you can get it on eBay. www.eBay.com

They used to be inadvertantly funny before they got smarter about filtering, so you'd see stuff like "Child Abuse - find it on Ebay".

If all the girls who attended the Yale prom were laid end to end, I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

That is a great line even after all these years.
