It’s probably no surprise<\/span> to you that I show ads on my blog. This is because I am a greedy, greedy money-changer who couldn’t live without the $4.35 I make each month from Google AdSense. It’s also because I’m part of the Guideposts Blog Network<\/a> and showing ads is part of our agreement.<\/p>\n

What IS a surprise is one of the ads that showed up the other day in the sidebar when I pulled up the blog to check the layout of a recent post.<\/p>\n

Here it is, courtesy of AdSense:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Recognize that hot Christian single? Yep, it’s Kris Allen, the newest winner of American Idol.<\/span> He’s a real-life worship leader (at least, he used to be) and a professing Christian. So that fits with the ad. What he’s NOT is single. At all. On account of how he’s famously the first married person<\/a> to win. He’s been married since last September.<\/p>\n

I’m no relationship expert, but I’m pretty sure this disqualifies him from being the face of a “Find Christian Singles” ad.<\/p>\n

How did I know it was Kris Allen? Because I have an eagle eye. Also because, um, I found the exact same photo somewhere else:<\/p>\n

Please forgive me, single Christian ladies, for getting your hopes up. Can’t put a ring on this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
