| Advertising - this is just silly... |

I'm sure that this is going to be fairly boring but just feel it needs mentioning.
As ever, I didn't come onto LJ to actually post anything - oh good gracious no! - and after the obligatory checking of what is going on in other people's lives whilst I swan around in very surreal hospitals (actually if this posting thing catches on maybe I'll tell the story to you tomorrow) I ended up on my own page.
Now as many of you will have realised there isn't much there. And as you may also have realised I decided that I was going to ever so slightly whore my lj space for advertising to make it easier to upload pictures. This seemed fine at the time but I'm somewhat intrigued about what I'm advertising.
Really I shouldn't be surprised, I know what the programs do - they read my interests and put things linked to that on the page. It' s just the way that the context is never quite right.
So what am I advertising at time of going to print. Hmm, apparently my interest in the night sky (I'd been to cornwall on voles close enough for the beautiful sights to still be imprinted on my mind ok) to be turned into a sky tv advert.
I'm impressed it somehow picked up on the diving and the medicine but worry somewhat that I now advertise recompression chambers on my lj. And to ice the cake I'm advertising the oxford premedicine course. I'm just a little bit in a mood with oxford (it's clinical school anyway) for almost point blank telling me not to bother applying for clinical there but thats all part of the surreal hospitals story for another day.
Still anyway, thanks to me not talking about quackery or pseudoscience atleast I'm not advertising, say, I don't know magnetic bandages (depressingly available on the NHS) or fish oil...
I do hope it only reads my interests...

Just think, if you list "apples" as one of your interests, you might end up with an advert for Meldrith! That'd be a good thing to whore yourself for.....sorry, whore your LJ space for. Er. | |
