GMail, Google's e-mail offering, puts up ads in your inbox that are targeted to you through some kind of magical algorithm that scans your messages for content and matches up the ads to you. It reminds me of the intrusive advertising in Minority Report, the last Tom Cruise movie I saw before I realized exactly how guano loco he really was.
Somehow, I got this ad at the top of my inbox. I think the magic algorithm failed.

You wear 'em on your head, don't you?
Doesn't everyone have a pair of that already, I mean seriously, I'm wearing mine right now! *struts about in his manly kitten underpants*
As RvB would say, "Real men wear Pink!" and as the Pink Master Chief would say, "I'm not pink, I'm just a lighter shade of red!"
Maybe they had you confused with Gpop.....
What, you don't like cats?! ;)
Hey, you got 2.0's advertising instead!
I read this while I was drinking a glass of ice tea, dammit!
Mine are all SPAM recipes. The worst part is I have started to buy SPAM. I never, ever had SPAM before this and I live in Minnesota where it is almost as popular as Lutefisk. I wish they had given me the Hello Kitty underpants one.
Jen: Spam is a great staple food anywhere waaaaaay up north. There are mountaineers who leave cans of it on the tippy tops of mountains. Someone posted a pic of a can of Spam hanging out at Maslin's Beach (local nudie beach down here in South Oz). Never had the gunk myself... However, lutefisk is great!
Gdad: Be thankful it wasn't an ad for Hello Titty underwear :)
