A new avenue for ethical cross-site scripting.

I did not know about this particular keyword sensitivity google mail: http://boingboing.net/2009/07/31/how-to-avoid-ads-in.html

Maybe everybody should add "I'm sorry for your loss of ads" to their email signature?

That's a very old article though. I'm quite sure this is no longer relevant. A friend of mine lost both his parents in Afriqiyah Airways Flight 771 back in 2010 and I remember him telling me shortly afterwards he got very uncomfortable ads in Gmail about insurances and funeral services. In Dutch though, so it could be those keywords are not localized.

Apparently doesn't work if the words are just in your signature.
