Jordache saw this in The Sunday Times. She sez…
I just finished reading an article in STM (why I torment myself this way is another subject entirely) about the “forgotten children” of Australia who were taken from their parents and put into orphanges. This particular article revolves around two children who were taken away from their mother as a result of her being an alcoholic. So, with this in mind, you can understand my total jaw dropping shock at seeing an advertisement FOR WINE right in the middle of the article. Not only that, but the wine’s tag line is “Where Secret’s Live” and throughout the article this poor woman is describing how she has lived WITH THIS TERRIBLE SECRET her whole life. Is this a joke? It has to be a joke right?
Not the first time New Zealand wine has been featured. Is that a greenstone niple ring?

I read article, and had same reaction. Astounding!

My guess is that they’ve done away with the human beings that decide layout and this ad was generated as a perfect match for the article based on keywords. Like some of the stellar matches you get with Google AdWords.

Aha keywords! That could lead to some almighty clangers Kat.
Fast food ads in the middle of ‘The Obesity Epidemic’ article, Happy hour ads in the middle of ‘Northbridge Strife” article. Ad for the Perth Zoo in the middle of ‘Surge in reports of Bestiality’, it just goes on and on.

Different on TV though. They don’t need key words. They just blatantly shove in an RAC Ad straight after news of a horrific car accident. Gotta love ’em.

Do you think they were Kiwi nuns on the piss? Is that where all this trouble started? Too many nuns dragging chully buns full of puss behind them?…
