I actually dont think salmon are a bigger threat than the IRA. Good find!

I can holiday just fine without a cruise ship.

Not even Fark is immune from this sort of thing:

It looks to me like Google search result harvesting is responsible...

"Welcome to Costa Cruises. This is your captain speaking, Francesco Schettino. We're having trouble with the left side of the ship, but it's nothing to worry about. Just like to let everybody know. In the meantime, have a glass of wine, and maybe some pizza; we're going to get back to you in just a little bit."

Well about forty minutes later, the voice came over the intercom. It was saying again, "Hello, this is your captain, Francesco Schettino once again. We're still having trouble with the left side of the ship. Just for precaution, we'd like to ask everybody who knows how to swim, you should go on the right side of the ship. And everybody who does not know how to swim, I think it's better you go on the left side of the ship. That's just for precaution; it's nothing to worry about."

Well about five minutes later, the voice come over the intercom was saying again, "Uh oh! April Day! April Day!" I guess he meant to say "mayday," but in Cropani that's the way they talk. He says, "It looks like we're gonna have to abandon ship. Everybody who knows how to swim, it's better you go right to the exit sign, and swim straight ahead. You got nothing to worry about, because we's less than 150 meters from shore. And everybody on the left side of the ship who does not know how to swim, we say to you, thanks a lot for sailing Costa Cruises."

Window seat, please.

I came across this one a while back:

Linked site appears farked.

I was reading an article about the sinking a couple days ago. The side ad was trying to sell me 'discounted Costa Concordia tickets'. That was full of win.

Brother_Mouzone: I actually dont think salmon are a bigger threat than the IRA. Good find!

I have to disagree. Hardly a month goes by where I don't hear about salmonella poisoning someone. They should at least put her as a higher priority than the IRA.

These aren't that uncommon. Aren't ads often chosen on a context-basis, based on what is in the article?

"Oh, this one's reading about a cruise ship! Let's show them some ads about cruises!"

Fark is actually highly susceptible to this sort of thing due to contextual advertising models.

/Course she's still alive.

I can win a dream holiday? Can I chose which holiday, or would I be stuck with President's Day or the start of Ramadan?

What kind of God would allow us to be living in a world where Amy Winehouse is still alive, but Ace Frehley is not?
