Scotticus Finch: Will Google Actually Deliver my Earnings in Canvas Bags Stamped with Dollar Signs?

Will Google Actually Deliver my Earnings in Canvas Bags Stamped with Dollar Signs?

[UPDATE added below]

Curiosity has overcome me. Today I signed up for Google's AdSense program, which will post ads on ScotticusFinch based on content. I simply must know what Google's automated server squirrels will come up with.

Will my general malaise trigger ads for posh Miami depression-treatment clinics? Will a foaming conniption about the Deflector-in-Chief lead to a pitch for Dreams from My Father? Or will every day simply be a rotating parade of ads for Guatemalan Viagra, low-interest ARMs, and mail-order brides? Stay tuned.

I'm also instructed not to actively encourage you to click on the ads (which should start appearing in about 48 hours). So don't. Or whatever. It's not like I pay my interns anyway.

UPDATE: Day one -- all lawyer ads. Could Google be foreshadowing a police confrontation in my future?

You do realize that now that you have mentioned the following "Guatemalan Viagra, low-interest ARMs, and mail-order brides" you have guarantied that all of them will show up in the side bar.

This is crap. I was excited when my Google search for "how to talk your one arm Guatemalan mail-order bride, who has low-interest in you, into taking Viagra" led me to your site. Needless to say, I'm disappointed

Thank goodness so far nothing has triggered classless picture-ads of Audrina Patridge. Audrina Patridge doesn't even have any discernable talent besides being Audrina Patridge. Audrina Patridge pics are totally unwelcome here. Audrina Patridge. Audrina Patridge.

Freedom Quotes

America is exceptional, but it is not inherently so. -- Rand Paul
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. -- Benjamin Franklin
What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. –- Thomas Jefferson
Religion isn't the opiate of the masses; it's the placebo of the masses. –- Dr. Gregory House
Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. –- Frederic Bastiat
Why am I a libertarian? I submit, with some serious reservation, that it is easier to bring heart to a heartless doctrine than bring sense to a senseless one. At least libertarianism makes sense; now, to just make it more human. –- Unknown
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largesse out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result being the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing. –- Alexander Fraser Tyler
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. –- Thomas Jefferson
