An Interesting Ad

I notice that there's an ad on the side of my blog--for a tree removal service. Considering we're talking about family trees, here, does anyone else wonder if there's something nefarious going on? Perhaps someone in league with J.K. Rowling's fearsome Lord Voldemort, who points out in the seventh Harry Potter book that some of his followers' family trees need pruning?

Well, I just looked at it again, and the ad does also offer tree care. Maybe it isn't so alarming after all.

I think I will keep an eye out and see what other "appropriate" ads the software selects to tack on to my blog. It'll be my latest spectator sport!

Note added 11/10/08: I now see an ad for the Stump family tree. I like it.
