Dear Google Ad Sense

And now for a brief [non-]commercial message....


I got the following in an email from "Google AdSense":

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Google AdSense. Unfortunately, after reviewing your application, we're unable to accept you into AdSense at this time.

We did not approve your application for the reasons listed below.

Issues:

Insufficient content

Further detail:

Insufficient content: To be approved for AdSense and show relevant ads on your site, your pages need to have enough text on them for our specialists to review and for our crawler to be able to determine what your pages are about.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

There is no return address or other usable feedback mechanism that is non-automated or case specific. Public forums are NOT case specific.

Alas this only proves that Google's automated monetization system has insufficient neurons [and human oversight] to know what human content, poetic and otherwise constitute human thought. 

I suppose that this is a good thing considering the fact Google's rules for NSFW content effectively squelches any content that may be considered offensive: Lenny Bruce, beat poets, James Joyce. Norman Mailer, and many, many others need not apply. Effectively Google suppresses freedom of speech in the name of 'correctness of speech'.



Dear Google AdSense:
Thank you for freeing me from the  burden of providing you with free content for you to use with your advertising. Now I can focus on actually writing... and guaranteeing my readers an ad-less reading experience [something rare and precious]   but it does mean that at some point I will [if successful] be moving to other internet accommodations. 

The fact that your web crawlers are unable to determine that these meager pages do indeed contain human readable content is an insult to human intelligence in general and a specific complement to the intelligence of any human who reads this... It is not often these days that a human can be shown to have more comprehension than their mechanical offspring.

I certainly hope that you will enjoy this feeble human's attempt at expressing things which you have no ability to comprehend and that it proves to be enlightening.  Human progress depends on going places which are "not suitable for ___[fill in the blank]____". 


regards,

jhc
