They claim that their search is impartially looking for the best match in content, but the temptation to search for their own ads must be amazing. Couldn't really blame them if they did, but of course they'd need to mix in enough other content that it wasn't blatantly obvious.

I'm just noticing how attentive the sponsor ads are and how they picked up on the "gay marriage" text. I am still amazed at how they pick up on things in a blog post. Yeah, I should be over it soon. ;) LOL. Sorry. I’m just noticing how attentive the sponsor ads are and how they picked up on the “gay marriage” text.

And just to complicate things further :- The Family name is not necessarily the surname. In Iceland for example the given name of generation N becomes the family name of generation N+1. They use the term 'Forename'. Wrong! Given names do not necessarily come first. There are people with only one name, there is a famous lady IT researcher for example with only one name. I believe she is a south sea islander. And I've forgotten her name :-( 'Marriage' should take a religion and/or a legal jurisdiction ( both a function of time) as a variable. Divorce ditto. 'Date' may be a function of religion and/or jurisdiction. etc. etc. The gay marriage database article is hilarious! And just to complicate things further :-
