The Irony of Phone Security Google Ads

I'm playing with Google ads - mainly out of curiousity since there is little chance the entire Internet is going to coming knocking on my door. In the Google Links at the top of my main page 4 sets of ads are offered: LAN, Phone, OS, and RFID security. All of these produce ads for a cornicopia of security products and services as one would expect. The Phone security ads depart from this mix by offering services to bypass mobile handset security functions designed to lock a handset to a particular mobile carrier. These ads are targeted toward subverting phone security, rather than bolstering phone security. Interestingly a Google search for Phone Security produces the set of security products and analysis on phone security one would expect. View image (pop-up) in case the original goes away.
