Oh internet advertising. . .

You may recall my ongoing fascination with how drudgerport.com manages to make any money, when its adds so often display in hilariously-incorrect ways.
It’s like when a person on the radio is reading a “this report is brought to you by” advertisement, and messes it up. Does the radio station have to return the money of the company whose advertisement was messed up?
Anyway, I love biblestudytools.com (formerly http://bible.crosswalk.com). But I just saw this banner advertisement today:

The advertisement is for Liberty University, and takes you to this site.
But the top right-hand corner of the banner add immediately rolls down after the page is loaded, and ends up covering part of the only place in the add where the word “Liberty” is used.
If you mouse over the area revealed “behind” the banner, you get this:

Click on that newly-revealed area, and you’re taken to this site.
This makes me wonder if (1) Liberty U knew its name was going to get partially covered up to make way for another advertisement for Franklin Graham and Christianity.com, and (2) if this is just a problem on my tiny computer screen.
Anyway, it’s kind of a cool little set-up they have going on, but . . . yeah.

I also got a kick out of the line that says “The world’s largest Christian”.
Ahh haahh!!! I didn’t even notice that!
