Google harassing me! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

So, I looked up,"Axl Rose Tattoos," and now I get multiple suggestions from Google telling me where I can get Tattoos done!

Google, get a life please!

Google, I don't want Tattoos myself, I was just curious about Axl Rose's Tattoos!

I should have been more clear. Google sent me a link to Wynwood Tattoo Studios even on this very Website! When I wasn't looking up anything related to Tattoos at all! Google also sent me a link to another Tattoo Studio on a Website that I wasn't even looking up Tattoos!

Hmm. I deleted my Axl Rose Tattoos inquiry, and I am STILL getting the Wynwood Tattoo Studio link. Feck off Google!

So, are they harassing you via e-mail? Or are they just bombarding you with ads (here, fir example) based upon your search history?

I use an adblocker called "u-block origin", and it's pretty good. Set it up once and forget about it. Which is one of the things I like about it, compared to the blockers that continually nag you to adjust your preferences.

I got ads telling me about Wynwood Tattoo Studio. Even after I deleted the Axl Rose Tattoos inquiry from Google. And I JUST found out I still had Axl Rose Tattoos in my ACTUAL history. I deleted the Axl Rose Tattoos history itself, and the Wynwood Tattoo Studio ad FINALLY went away. 😀

Tattoos are horrible.. Sign of evil

I don't know about evil, but why a person desecrates their bodies????? I once got a henna one on my ankle at funky Venice beach and it was fun but it washed away......

This is an extremely bizarre take. You can hate tattoos all you want, but to call them "evil" is just silly. I don't have any tattoos but I considered getting my best friend who passed away's handwriting tattooed on me. Is that "evil?"

Is Google getting downright scary?

A woman said she was cleaning her bathroom and noticed her bathroom tiles looked kind of off and thought,"Maybe I should regrout my Bathroom tiles." She went on Google and without even looking up,"Regrouting bathroom tiles, " Google sent her links to Bathroom tile Regrouting services! "

That Guy is an IDIOT!

Hmm. On an interesting note, he simultaneously looks like he is smirking and like he regrets what he did to get a mugshot.
