Do the people at Google that run the ads have a sense of humor? I think so.

I ran some random Google searches for baseball teams:

new york yankees
new york mets
montreal expos
chicago cubs
anaheim angels
san francisco giants
texas rangers
toronto blue jays
minnesota twins
florida marlins
tampa bay devil rays
detroit tigers
houston astros
boston red sox
baltimore orioles
milwaukee brewers
cincinatti reds

And I started paying attention to the Google Ads shown, specifically for the ebay ad.

A lot of them (yankees, cubs, red sox, mets) didn't have ebay Google Ads - and "detroit tigers" resulted in no Google Ads at all.

I got a few screen shots of the ads.

Blue Jays:


Fairly straight-forward. "Ebay Has Low Prices: Ebay has good deals on everything. It's easy to shop and buy today!"

Then we have the most common kind which reads "Find It For Sale: Low Priced Athletics Oakland. Huge Selection!"

This is evidenced by the A's and Orioles, and with the Reds despite a title which reads "Cincinatti Reds at Ebay." It's funny that the syntax for the A's and Orioles is screwed up, but not the Reds.

Here are the screen shots:




And then here are the screen shots for Jeffrey Loria-owned franchises:




Note the title change to "Expos Montreal for Sale" and "Florida Marlins for Sale."

Somebody has to have a sense of humor for that to happen.

Anyone else feel like checking the rest of the teams through Google?

Later.
