When Online Advertising Goes Wrong

Here are some great examples of online advertising going wrong - displaying ads that completely go against the content of the page. In this case, it was two ads for a credit card which talked about card sharks and being eaten alive by interest, tactfully positioned in a news story about a woman being killed in a shark attack.

Woops!.

Found via Ad-rag.com. As the comments there ask, I wonder whether their click rate went up due to this unfortunate accident?
