Why is this my gmail inbox ad?
"Female Cougars - www.DateACougar.com - Female Cougars On The Prowl. 100% Free. Join Now."
I know how we do the algorithm to determine the ad, and I cannot figure out how this happened!

I read in Wookiepedia that Google algorithms are now so advanced that they can read your state of mind. It seems you were feeling a bit catty at the time of Gmail login.
...cougar is in reference to an "old" cat... it's ok.. u're still young in my book.

I actually started getting this, coincidentally, right after I started dating someone younger than me than anyone I'd dated before has been. I'm sure it was just coincidence, how would the ad algorithm know our ages? But still, it was weird.
I got this one after discussing "Hunters" that were "unattached": http://www.mit.edu/~puzzle/unattached.html
Wierd, someone blew the algo, I'd understand adopt-a-cuddly-snow-tiger-cub.com, but a cougar - a bug i suppose.
My two most popular contextual ads are www.dateacougar.com and www.underjams.com. So...I like older women and I have a problem wetting the bed. Thanks, Gmail.
hey
