Another interesting result from Google News. This time it wasn't the pairing of headline and image that looked inappropriate, but the headline itself:
Sounds more spammy than your average headline and, sure enough, if you click through on the alleged story, you end up at canadian-pharma dot com:
According to the website, Levita Soft is "a prescription medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED)."
Maybe it's just me, but even if the dodgy-looking website didn’t put you off, surely the name of the drug would? Or am I the only person who finds the word "soft" a tad insensitive in this context?
*Google Translate tells me that this is German for "experience."
Update - clicking through on headlines like this is not recommended, unless you want to see more headlines like this in your news feed...
