Getting tradies and other service providers has become a bit of a 'mare. Too many householders are familiar with them being too busy, too expensive, too casual, or worse, arrive late (if at all) and do a crap job. Well...we're out to change all that. On homefriday, you can find quality providers in your local area. The feedback rating system means you can arm yourself with background info before picking up the phone. Better still, post a free ad with your requirements and get them coming to you. No cowboys. Nowhere to hide.
I came across this Google ad on a blogposting in the US.
Lesbian relationship?
Declare your lesbian relationship

So, two things. Firstly, the government has paid for ads to go trolling for lesbians to apply for welfare. Talk about group-specific. Are lesbians known to be less aware about social security than heteros? The second point is that the ad is so poorly-targetted that it appeared at the bottom of a US blog about gifted children. Is it just me missing the connection?
