If you click the Kunstler story the first thing I saw was this giant SUV ad. The counter argument not to buy such a thing is in the article below. Surreal.

Edit: clicking the 2nd time it's gone, but shows a furniture ad: "see what you can buy!"

It's like the old saying, 'Only Fox could air the Simpsons!'

Advertisements are often served by companies that search the article for keywords, then offer advertisements based upon the keywords found. Such is often the case at my site, where an article about colleting gold coins as a hedge against an inflating dollar often causes gold dealers to pop up in the advertisements.

One of the pro-transit/pedestrian/bicycle blogs I frequent (I believe it was streetsblog.org) once had a post pointing out a New York Times online article about a boy who had been hit and killed by a car, and how the article was surrounded by car ads, including one for the type of car mentioned in the article. Very nice how that "key word" system works.
