THE SOUNDTRACK AND THE FURY

I subscribe to (but only lurk in) the wallace-l list, the listserv (remember those?) devoted to David Foster Wallace, where many an interesting debate about literary fiction is always five or ten minutes away from breaking into a flurry of e-mails likely to wreak havoc on my productivity.

One from earlier this week included some discussion of William Faulkner, and reading these e-mails in my Gmail account as I do, of course I get those keyword-relevant text ads along the right hand side. I rarely notice them. This time I'm glad I did. Herewith, maybe the best (i.e. most hilarious) such text ad I've seen in the few short years of Google Adsense's existence:


What the hell, I'll throw them a link. If you find .wavs (or whichever format ringtones use, I have no idea) of Vardaman noting his mother's piscatory status or Tull going on about Cash's coffin-building technique, please do let me know.
