Looking for the Loch Ness monster, a new husband, Uranium, or bed sores? eBay can help (or so their adwords think).
Let me try... yep, I'll bet you can find that on Ebay.

My favourite, which I sometimes see on a political website I run, is "House of Lords Reform! Buy House of Lords Reform on eBay".
Which is where Jack Straw has been going wrong.

i think they've revised the engine since i discovered these during the course of research years ago:
"find homeless singles at passion.com!"
"find slave trading on ebay!"
"buy new and used foreskin on ebay!"

Interestingly, ebay does not offer to sell me "suppurating boils" when I search for them on Google. So clearly they show some level of discrimination in their adwords.
Just not much.

I've had 'new and used children' and 'new and used rice' before - hmmm used rice. How digested is it?

So I followed the electrocution link...

I've thought of putting up a gallery of screenshots of the non-sequitur images paired with messages on the Yahoo login screen. Currently: a woman gathering cloth in her hands, alongside the message "InstaList brings the bowling team together". Another one: a little kid holding a bunny next to "Spammers giveth. SpamGuard taketh away." SpamGuard kills bunnies?
