I can understand the confusion between camel the animal and Camel the cigarette, but is the National Health Service only helping Camel smokers to quit now? Do the other brands no longer kill you?

AdSense, the NHS and Camel cigarettes
Google's AdSense can be slightly strange. I write a post about camels, and AdSense serves up the following advertisement on the blog:

AdSense: no sense
This blog, like many others, uses Google's AdSense to provide relevant advertisements (see the two little ads above). However a couple of recent AdSense offerings have stopped me in my tracks.
One was an ad for cheapo British pub chain JD Wetherspoon - presumably AdSense picked up on my name for this one (and possibly my post about pub rowdyism...).
The other questionable advert was for, and I quote, "The Engine Room CD" on Play.com – it was news to Apus and me that we have ever released a CD. But it's given me the idea of an 'Engine Room Greatest Hits'. Watch this space.
If you spot any other inappropriate or plain bizarre AdSense adverts, on this blog or others, please let us know...
