Oh Google, master of the universe, why do you puzzle me so? I am but a middle-aged boy from Connecticut who speaks English and English only. Yet my Gmail account, often as not, displays ads in Japanese.
“Ads are selected for relevance and served by Google computers using the same contextual advertising technology that powers our AdSense program. This technology enables Google to target dynamically changing content such as email or daily news stories.”
Gotcha–but I still don’t speak Japanese.
This has been going on for a while. Maybe they’ve heard of my fascination with Asian women and decided to do me one better. Nah. Probably not.
If you can figure out why Google thinks I’m turning Japanese, I’m really turning Jpaanese, they really think so, would you let me know?
