This is actually quite hilarious. Google have always done crazy stuff, with some years being funnier than others.

Flippa made a joke as wellthere is a listing for 100,000,000 and later they say something like "you didnt believe that did you?"
Google's well known, in recent years for multiple jokes.
So I sign into AdWords and see the following message:

It takes me to http://www.google.com/adwords/blimpads/
The best part are the " Success stories " at the bottom -- check those out!
As well, if you click on the "Sign Up for Blimp Ads" it takes you to a GDoc form, which they are obviously collecting just to see how many people 'sign up'.
Awesome! Someone noticed ;-)
We may have been a little too subtle with this. Anyone who viewed the seller's avatar, or viewed someone who had viewed the seller's avatar also ended up being Justin Beaver for while too ...
Something we had not expected is for Flippa to end up as the exit mechanism for April 2011 jokes such as this one which was covered on Techcrunch: https://flippa.com/129316-Deals4Hips...MSNBC-LA-Times
