Contextual Advertising at it’s best…

My wife was checking her e-mail earlier, and was reading an e-mail from a friend concerning an upcoming wedding for her cousin who will be getting married next summer. This ad was on the sidebar of her Gmail account:

Honor this Special Time
Puberty can be a tough time for
parents too. Chinaberry can help
http://www.chinaberry.com

This struck me as somewhat funny, since it seemed to be accusing the Bride and Groom of only just hitting puberty themselves…

The wording struck me as a little strange as well. since in my Dutch background, puberty was something that either was not talked about, or was teased mercilessly; hardly, an ‘honored time’. I guess it may apply to Jewish or other backgrounds where puberty *is* an honored time. Either way, doesn’t really fit with the whole wedding thing in general.
