- hanzo87, on 10/12/2007, -14/+184I know. I just found it funny that Gmail was offering me relationship advice!
- Gaius, on 10/12/2007, -8/+137That's because it is pretty funny, hanzo.
Are you one of those people, Azi, who never laughs at jokes? Don't mean to be a dick here, but c'mon. We all know by now how the ads work. Thanks for your insight. It's just funny. Have a chuckle. - yum9me, on 10/12/2007, -4/+125Well i'm sure Google is 100 times better and smarter than her!
- titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -1/+101I doubt the guy 's girlfriend had search, IM and email all in one.
- bpapa, on 10/12/2007, -19/+117Do we really need a CSS edit to ***** hide Gmail ads? For *****'s sake, it's A TEXT AD ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR BROWSER WINDOW. IF THAT BOTHERS YOU YOU ARE AN *****.
- skatejunk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+96It's too bad he didn't get those relationship advice ads before they broke up
- xtr3m, on 10/12/2007, -1/+88Google is probably working on it already.

This definitely needs to be mirrored.
Imageshack has zero bandwidth. - mwolfzorn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+80http://www.google.com/romance/
- oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+65ads for vaseline and kleenex are sure to follow.
- tidu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+65Quick! Someone take that image into photoshop and do the exact same blur in the opposite direction to read the email! ;)
- CypherXero, on 10/12/2007, -6/+60I wanna read the email! Post it, dude!
- emorphien, on 10/12/2007, -2/+52Google can probably find its way around town a lot better too.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+53Waverider:
You have officially creeped me out. Are you going to offer to send him religious pamphlets now? - AZTriGuy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+46don't forget the spreadsheets too :)
- StarManta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31If she's a woman she has.
- waverider1899, on 10/12/2007, -6/+37Sorry about that.. I get sappy sometimes.
- hanzo87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28Actually we had broken up in person before she sent this email. That's why I said "I received an email from my girlfriend AFTER we broke up."
- bradbeattie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27The only thing you're forgetting is that Google gets around. Sure, it won't kiss and tell, but which one of us hasn't had a piece of the Google pie?
- Linkage155, on 10/12/2007, -9/+35Same, you can totally own her by putting it up here!
- nickj6282, on 10/12/2007, -3/+27Because a bunch of people dugg it, duh. Why are there always so many "How did this lame/stupid/spam/whatever crap make the front page?"
BECAUSE EVERYONE IS NOT YOU AND A BUNCH OF OTHER PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY, TIMELY, INTERESTING, OR AMAZING, AND THEY DUGG THE ***** ARTICLE!
If you think it's stupid, DON'T DIGG IT! Then, just move along to the next story and stop with the retarded "How did this make the front page..." crap comments please.
/rant - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+25Actually, the girl probably CAN find her way around town better. She probably does not get one way roads confused, nor lead you down dead ends as much as Google. She is probably also not still in Beta.
But hopefully, she hasn't kept a reocrd of everything you've done for the last sevearl years to use against you at her discretion. - shakeeb, on 10/12/2007, -5/+22PWND by Gmail ads...
A new level of pwnage. - funkpucker, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18HAHAHA well intentioned guys are always the creepy ones. But I feel your pain waverider, must be rough bein in the surf all day. Just jokin with ya...
- hanzo87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16@juneof44
That's pretty impressive! Damn, I knew I should've kept smudging in photoshop... - thenorwegian, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18This happened to me as well, and I got a kick out of it. The humor made things easier.
- juneof44, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15All I can make out is what hanzo's snippet is:
"Well, I guess there never was a good opportunity to talk about things"
I don't know what happened in the relationship, but I'm already taking hanzo's side. - waverider1899, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16Ah man, Funkpucker, I totally embarrased myself on Digg... this really sucks...
Choicetoes is right: my message above was waaaaaay creepy! How the hell do I delete the message? I can't even give my own message a thumbs-down; it won't let me!
These things stay forever on the Internet. Now I know how the star-wars-kid felt!
Anyways... I was just sad that hanzo87 and his girl broke up is all... I thought maybe they could get back together or something, and then we'd read about again on Digg. I was thinking: what if she is the one for hanzo87, and they are just throwing it all away?! - pcheaven2k, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I received the following email yesterday:
"Dear Mr. LASTNAME,
I am writing to inform you that your services as my lover will no longer be needed. I find myself in financial ruin since hiring you as my boy toy and I am afraid that I can no longer afford your dark-tanned, well oiled, ripped muscle body laying next to mine. I hope there will be no hard fellings and I have forwarded your name, phone number, resume and references to all of my widow friends, surely one of them will be able to afford your services.
With Best Regards,
Horny House Wife"
When I received it in my gmail account I got the following ad:
"Tired of paying all the time for companionship? Then you need the Real Doll!"
the ad then linked here: http://www.realdoll.com/
Upon seeing the ad I decided to do something I have never done before.....by one (from an online ad)....actually I bought two....One female, red head with dark tanned skin, 38CCC breasts and Jenna Jameson modeled puss.....the other is a latin looking guy with a 14" banana (so I don't have to bang the next widow if she is ugly and old....I can just loan her the male REAL DOLL> - Felectrode, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Because nobody lies in person, right?
Granted, I did wait untill I saw my ex in person to break up with her. If I knew google was there to help I might have sent an email at some point too. - burke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Specialty Knife Store

http://duggmirror.com/software/Gmail_ads_get_a_little_too_personal/gmailadsrev2brn5.png - waverider1899, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Hey Hanzo,
I've got to admit that there is something totally amazing about your break-up being the topic of discussion on the Internet for thousands of people -- and we all got to laugh about it with you. That's what makes Digg so great.
The best and most f**cking funny message here tonight thus far, about your break up, however, was posted below by oOLiquidNightOo 2 below, when he said:
"ads for vaseline and kleenex are sure to follow"
I wonder what the famous media philosopher Marshall McLuhan would say about your break-up being broadcast to the world in this way? McLuhan always said, "The medium is the message"... but I never really understood that until perhaps now.
Take it easy Hanzo... glad to see you and your ex-girlfriend are still friends ... but just one more thing:
Are you sure you aren't getting back together? (I mean... what if you are both tipsy one night, and she's looking really hot... and... ) ok ! enough! I'll stop here for the night... - DeadFly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10One time an email from a friend about learning the bagpipes pulled up ads on where to buy bag pipes and Bose noise cancelling headphones.
- balldee93, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10That is way too funny man. "Even if your partner is unwilling..."
- wozley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I had a similar event with gmail.
I had a terrible break up with my previous girlfriend, and about a month later she emails me to apologize for it and says she wants to be friends and all. I read the sappy email then look to the right at the adds. The first add said, in bold, TALK IS CHEAP.
I laughed my ass off. - nreynolds, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9He recieved the email POST BREAKUP.
not that I care (i'm making it sound like a high-school scandal) but I do like pointing out everyone's flaws.
edit: dang. the... submitter got to it before me - felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I just tried it. No ads. I guess they didn't have adwords for "strangle," "chloroform," or "stab with a kitchen knife."
- Agent_M, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Related, and funnier, in my opinion:
http://digg.com/tech_news/Google_AdSense_pops_the_question_before_he_does_ - pjack91, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13Yeah he gets so much money for pictures he puts on ImageShack.
- juneof44, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8@hanzo87
Like I said, that's all I could make out. I'll get drunk tonight and see if the blurry text lines up. :)
And as much as I'd like to see the emails, don't post them. - hanzo87, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9@waverider1899
I wouldn't worry about it, dude. Not many people will even see your first comment since it's buried.
In regards to the breakup- I'm completely ok with it. We had basically become friends by the end of it, anyway. I don't regret dating her, but I'm glad I'm single again! And I'm certain she's not the one for me.
I must say, I'm shocked that my stupid little breakup email made it to the 5th most-dugg story of the day! I did NOT see that coming. Three cheers for digg! - oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7bah! c'mon, before you bury that link, you check it and tell me it's not the hardest thing you've ever had to endure.
- Dragular, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7At least it wasn't by text message... that would be the work of your friendly neighborhood Dragular ;)
- diggonit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I'm surprised there weren't links to dating services and adult sites as well. Google better get that fixed.
- Mambo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Google cooks too.
- andergriff, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I love it! You know, someone should do a fake letter about murdering their significant other and see what kind of helpful links Google provides. :-))))
- kyote, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Dang that was a long email she sent you. How hard is it to say "let's just be friends?"
- SuckMyDigg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Hey waverider, quit while you're behind...
