Tom Cruise competing with gay travel for Google AdWords clicks
On the heels of his interview with Oprah on Friday, actor Tom Cruise (pictured here, trying desperately not to look crazy) has signed up for a Google AdWords account in order to lead the inevitable follow-up searches to his "offical" site, TomCruise.com. For now it's just a countdown clock ticking off the seconds until 9am PST on Monday, May 5th. The ads appear if you enter "tom cruise," as the screenshots from Hollywood Newsroom make clear. But our own tests reveal that he might want to cast a wider net for search terms, because even Google seems to think Cruise, or at least his fans, want to get away on a big, gay boat — and I don't mean the MV Freewinds.
Yes, type "tom cruise is gay" into Google and you get sponsored links to Gayvacationtravel.com — book your gay cowboy cruise today!
Even entering something innocuous like "tom cruise is handsome," and again Google thinks I'm either interested in learning more about Tom Cruise or going sailing with the gays.
