This is a story about some yahoo who registered several domains to spread his story about developing Peritoneal Mesothelioma after having Laser Hair Removal in Washington DC. For some reason he thought Wisconsin Lemon Laws were in his favor and he'd soon get a huge settlement paid with Best Buy gift cards. It turns out he should have had temporary medical insurance. Now he is looking for a Personal Injury Solicitor.

I hope you have a good Florida car accident lawyer, because once mathowie busts out some microsoft anti spam on you, you'll wish you hadn't refinanced with bad credit so that you could still afford to pay the IRS lawyer tax when your adsense gets dragged into MetaTalk for some acid reflux treatment.

DaShiv, you forgot about the vasectomy reversal by a child molestation attorney using nothing but a sharpened Best Buy gift card.

You don't find a link to the most expensive keywords for the top PPC program on the web as something interesting? This surely isn't something Google wants the world to know.

Surprised to see this from one of the few remaining three-digit users.

I thought this was a smart bunch? See, what the original poster did was link to a sight on the interweb that says they have a list of Google Adsense keywords ranked by maximum and average $$$ as cost per click (CPC). I posted (almost) the same thing at my blog last night. I can't believe MeFi didn't catch the snark.

So, what about the guy who registered the domains? What's up with him? That site does not mention him at all. Why would someone who had a procedure performed in DC believe that he was covered by the laws of some other state?

rzklkng, why are you continuing to adverse credit this thread with your malignant mesothelioma and cheap life assurance when you could be San Diego breast augmenting MetaFilter's google affiliate anti spam exchange instead? Are you asking for a Vioxx class action suit in MetaTalk too?

The best part of the link was the pop-up ads! Thanks!

I wonder if it changed the Adsense ads on the Front Page?

BTW, anybody find it interesting how YAHOO is one of the top paying ads on GOOGLE?

"Hair laser removal virginia" Why doesn't my brain process that correctly? The at and t phones must be playing up in my head.

I'm glad rzklkng caught on, I was a bit worried but figured the tags would clear things up.

Never doubt a 3 digiter!

I GET IT!

The joke is all the weird nonsensical things in the OP are mentioned in the list of top adword keywords. Kind of clever, but mostly confusing.

It's a good link, but the funny could have come inside the thread, after we knew what the hell was going on.

Well played, Mick, well played.

Have I ever told you guys about the student loan consolidation program that was outlawed by a california law lemon when the event management security was caught in canada reading personals on yahoo? He'll need a good orlando criminal attorney.

Yes, obviously only the of you two yahoo personals are mcsa boot camp enough to read online forex and understand the pay per click affiliate refinance rates, whereas the rest of us dedicated hosting are simply too NY injury lawyer over all this stupid her first lesbian sex com best debt consolidation popup crap to give a CA lemon law about no closing cost. Why don't you two continue to Houston plastic surgery each other until you adult cheap hosting.

Have a mega life and health day!

Well played, Mick, well played.

If you get a dramatic spike in your adsense revenue, I think it only fair that you split it with me.

I must admit that the multiple references to the regulatory aspects of a certain yellow citrus fruit was completely confusing to me (not being an American). In any case, this list is pure gold for a sociologist.

The mesothelioma ranking is still baffling. Why is this so important (compared to other diseases) that it gets ranked so high? Is the ranking the result of some bias?

Whatever the fsck the link is or you peeps are talking about, I want to know how a person can get peritoneal mesothelioma, the abdominal and/or lung cancer Warren Zevon died of, from laser hair removal. Did they lase off the hair in his lungs or what?
posted by davy at 9:50 AM on April 12, 2005

Peritoneal mesothelioma is so high because TV lawyers make lots of money from class action lawsuits.

Yep. Totally confused. Where's the story about this guy's botched laser surgery?

Not really. In the US you notice ads for lawyers offering to take on mesothelioma cases all over radio and television.

Not really, no.

If I did, I'd be reading Spammer's Journal, Blog Your Way

or some other such rubbish.
