Alright well we've all noticed the new Google ads every after about 17 posts on every topic. Some people have expressed disdain, some are apathetic and some think it's a good idea. Whatever your opinion, these ads help the site (as wilsonscrazybed has stated) and are generally harmless. (And it's Google, who doesn't love Google?)
This game is influenced by bits of ideas from other posts and topics. As some or most of you have checked out the 'Weirdest websites' thread by danrhodes in Off-topic, or seen wilson's idea for a game in posting itself (by trying to make the google ads say strange things by slipping in relevant, but odd keywords for them to pick up on (in context of course)).
So I ask you forum gamers to go forth and browse the escapist's forums. Return here once you have found the **theme goes here Google ad on the site! I would prefer a link to the topic you found the odd ad in as well as a summary of the ad vs. the context of the thread.
An example:

"____is my mortal enemy" thread
Link [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.77261#935868] (You can click on the timestamp of the user above the ads to get a link directly to the middle post)
|IMG| Here is a small image of the ad itself. What fun! |IMG]
Ads about squirrel removal and getting squirrels out of your house? HOW HUMOROUS!

It will now be a semi-requirement. Originally I didn't want to touch on it because of the ease of photshopped 'ads'. Though you've got an honest face, Mr./Mrs. Forum Browsing Escapist, so go ahead and post an (appropriately sized) screenshot of the ad you've found. Try not to take a huge picture and post the giant thing on here. Also, spoiler tags are your friends.wilsonscrazybed said:
