This is just wrong:

Ad underneath an online article about the WWE drug scandal:

"Build Muscle Fast
You can build freaky big, cartoon like muscles with Growth Factor-1."

I saw this in an actual medical report: "Patient was told to have a herniated disc."

Having worked for both radio and a newspaper, I can tell you that traffic (radio add schedulers) and paste-up people (they still call them that though it's rarely done with wax anymore) are supposed to watch placement for conflict. The exception is, of course, a newspaper ad page devoted to car dealers/sales and the like. Otherwise there has to be at least one different subject ad in between in a radio break, and in paper, no two similar ads touching. At KFLG in Bullhead City, we desperately tried not to put two car dealers in one commercial break, though sometimes it was necessary as we were almost always oversold, especially during the dayshift which was usually when I was hosting. One time when working for "The Bounty" I remember getting screamed at because, while we had looked it over for errors, we had failed to notice a placement of a Coast-To-Coast ad next to a Sheridan Commercial ad (both hardware stores). Most people don't know the subtletys of either business though. Somehow I became so well trained to it that I still notice that stuff, even though I know longer work in either field. Go figure.

Wow. I never knew it was that complex!

Like I said, I think the ad was placed by a hacker.

Anyway, internet ads are usually place by programs, not by individuals, which makes it much easier to put something in that doesn't belong there. To me, the phrase "cartoon like muscles" means it's not a real ad.
