    One of my favorite search ads that appeared in the mid 2000s happened when I was bored. I searched “grandpa” without any context just to see what would come up, because I really was that bored. One of the ads that appeared was one of those where they just shove your search in the title verbatim so someone not paying attention might think it was what they wanted.

    It said something like “Looking for grandpa? Find great deals here!” I don’t remember exactly what the second part said, but the “Looking for grandpa?” part made me bust out laughing. I then started searching other random stuff to try and get something equally stupid, but it didn’t capture me quite the same way. Either way, my boredom was alleviated.

      Grandpa died last week

      And now he’s buried in the rocks

      But everybody still talks about

      How badly they were shocked

      But me, I expected it to happen

      I knew he’d lost control

      When he built a fire on Main Street

      And shot it full of holes

        I wasn’t expecting to read Bob Dylan lyrics in a memes community but I’m not disappointed

        Great song btw

    When I search for unusual (but not illegal) pornographic images, those unusual (but not illegal) pornographic images are exactly what I expect to find on my results.

    Now, if God can provide me a direct link to some hot Sandy Cheeks porn then we’re in business, otherwise he can jog on.
