Okay, so I don’t exactly need a little yellow fish in my ear for this … perhaps a version that gives my eyes the ability to see and comprehend in the way the fish does for speaking!

Are you wondering what I’m babbling on about?

It’s to do with a Google ad I noticed tonight in my Google Mail — reading an email about Adobe InDesign magazine, this ad below somewhat caught my eye!

Now, I’m “guessing” it is in Arabic or similar — my visual recognition of languages gives me a hint — but I’m willing to admit I could be wrong here!

Why place an ad this way? Is there a setting that controls the ad for the language of the recipient? Because if there is, in this case, it’s way off the mark.

Curiosity got the better of me and I clicked through — it’s a firm that does design and web hosting (99% of the site is not in English, but the source code is and a couple of graphics), so they obviously had keywords relevant to my Google mail message … but I can’t image how this gets them a good response.

Unusual, but I don’t think profitable!
