the world we live in today

we live in a world, where there is an internet.  and on the internet, people see a unique ad which corresponds to  keywords in their ’search string’ or ‘email’ that they typed.  For instance, if i search google for cars, some car ads will automatically pop up next to my search results.   

how it works is, advertisers pay money  to the website based on which keywords they want associated with their ad.  there are bidding wars over popular words like ‘money’ or ’sex,’ whereas less obvious words such as ‘insalubrious’ or ‘chastity’ fetch lower ad prices.

 thus it is, that we are living in a time where the following webpage is possible:

(it is an actual screen grab from a lyrics.com page . . .

. . . with accompanying advertisement.)

my first reaction was: oh, disgorge, you fucking sellouts!! take your cross-platform grindcore marketing paradigm elsewhere!

my second reaction was: so, which keyword was it that associated the “are you really in love?” ad with this song? 

 

1) regurgitate?

2) entrails?

3) rotting rot?  (or is that 2 keywords?) 

anyway, what do YOU think?  which keyword was it? 

and, is disgorge REALLY in love?  or do they say that to ALL the (dead, eviscerated) girls?

 if you have a second, leave a comment and try to solve these vexing riddles.

    I’m not sure if you ever did it on TDR, but you should write up a post about your top 10 favorite bands or some shit.

  2. Karasu Says:

    That’s fucking hilarious. That’s the internet for you. Kind of like the infamous lolita cover on Amazon.com.

  3. schultzzzzzzz Says:

    bands are boring. here are my favorite 10 condiments:

    2) spanish olives with the pimento in
    3) lowry’s garlic pepper
    4) sun-dried tomatoes
    5) tobasco
    6) straight-up smooshed avocado
    7) opeth
    8) james brown
    9) ice cube
    10) burzum / balsamic vinegar

  4. Emma Says:

    Aw, that song is so romantic. Especially “Ripping-sodomize her”. You could at least wine and dine her first, Disgorge (USA)!

    As for the top 10 condiments: how does James Brown taste on, say, lunch meat?

  5. Orunitier Says:

    The last thing in the world I want to do after reading that, is take a “Love Quiz”.

  6. Chris in Osaka Says:

    too bad you don’t have any of tony chachere’s spices on that list. i found a karaoke parlor in miyazaki (kyushu) that had angel of death… and i sang it… and nailed it… and scared the hell out of all the pop-loving japanese in the booth with me.

  7. Adrian Says:

    That must be either by Cannibal Corpse, or some ICP wannabe juggalo or whatever. It’s gotta be.

  8. Lleij Samuel Schwartz Says:

    Flip Mode is the squidotch.

  9. Augustus. Says:

    Juggalos are horrible people and grindcore is always so funny to me. The lyrics always sound like they could be from some horrible Indyemo band but then you hear them play and it’s all over.

  10. Karasu Says:

    Juggalos… Ugh. There are several groups around where I live that won’t go out without the makeup on… As for the keywords- I vote vaginal because most people searching that term are looking for porn and might need some real love. As for them really being in love, well, I don’t think so if she makes him puke.

  11. BACTRIM Says:

    Bactrim
    sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim (sul fa meth OX a zole and trye METH oh prim)
    Bactrim, Bactrim DS, Bactrim Pediatric, Bethaprim, Bethaprim Pediatric, Cotrim, Cotrim DS, Cotrim Pediatric, Septra, Septra DS, Sulfatrim, Sulfatrim Pediatric, Sulfatrim Suspension, Uroplus, Uroplus DS

    What is the most important information I should know about Bactrim?
    Take all of the Bactrim that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may start to improve before the infection is completely treated.

    What is Bactrim?
    Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim are both antibiotics that treat different types of bacterial infections. Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim fight bacteria in your body.
    Bactrim is used to treat infections such as urinary tract infections, bronchitis, ear infections (otitis), traveler\’s diarrhea, and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.
    Bactrim may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide
