No the fault of Porsche, that content is dynamically generated for "you" based upon your browsing history... neither is it the fault of the advertising, since they have no insight into the content into which they are embedded.

Seems to me the car ran fine. Extreme cars demand extreme respect. Failure to do so might cause an extreme result. Tragic loss, but let us not lose sight of the lesson.

Not only BINGO but, and this isn't my original thought, we developed an atomic bomb using slide rules, we sent men to the moon with analog equipment and a computer that probably had 1/10 the ability of my HP 33S calculator and now, in the Digital Age, some of the best minds are put to work figuring out how to make you click on or embed a directed ad. Makes one sort of wonder where it is we are headed.

Ads? There are ads on the Web? Well, I'm glad none of the sites I go to have them. That would be really annoying.
