Kurt Cobain's Suicide Letter vs. Google AdSense

Barcode

A few years ago, French artist Christophe Bruno created the Google AdWords Happening, in which he utilized the AdWords program to publish abstract poetry instead of ads. Google didn't find the happening appropriate hence, he got banned.

Last year Bruno's happening was followed up by GWEI - Google Will Eat Itself, an artistic click-fraud scheme developed by Hans Bernhard & Alessandro Ludovico. GWEI turned Google's ubiquitous AdSense program against Google itself in order to draw public attention to the fact that Google's immense popularity constitutes a democratic paradox. The operation was quickly discovered and stopped by Google.

Now, US artist Cory Arcangel has added to the list of conceptual Google-ad hacks.

Arcangel recently put up a webpage containing the entire text from Kurt Cobain's suicide note and paired it with Google AdSense.

Naturally, the text-ads generated by Cobain's suicide note are totally absurd and so, the site demonstrates just how clueless AdSense is despite Google's claim that 'AdSense can deliver relevant ads because Google understand the meaning of a webpage'.

I don't know about absurd, from the advertisers' perspective it's probably spot-on, at least they're not ads for razor blades.

well it is absurd to expect every reader of the suicide note to be himself suicidal; that is, to be assumed depressed, bipolar.

COMMENT BY: yiynomai DATE: Sep 27, 2006.

He didn't even kill himself. That note was describing him quitting the business, not killing himself. Courtney Love had him killed.

COMMENT BY: Jordan DATE: Oct 01, 2006.

why did he evn right a suicide letter and what was the point he was going to kill him sell even if he killed him self before courtney. and what if she didnt find the letter what would she do if none of them knew how he comited suicide.

Kurt Cobain was tired of everything and everyone beside his duaghter and his fans Love could have wanted him dead because of his fame and she wanted more attention but most likely he wanted to die the letter was just his last goodbye.

COMMENT BY: Ryan Brown DATE: Oct 16, 2006.

then why did they not put his suicide letter on the enternet why if he loved his fans love then why didnt he have a video or something that would say good bye to them why not

COMMENT BY: FIONA DATE: Oct 25, 2006.

well, apparently the google ads have been removed/blocked or something.

COMMENT BY: freak DATE: Jan 10, 2007.

the Suicide is the best thing that any ''Kurt'' should do

COMMENT BY: Marianne DATE: Jan 12, 2007.

there was a chair beside his body with no fingerprints, the gun had no fingerprints, and neither did the bullet. doctors say he was to stoned to even pick up a gun. plus Love maxed out all of his credit cards before he died. her and somebody else murdered him, and split up the best band ever!!!!!

COMMENT BY: Matthew Harper DATE: Jan 31, 2007.

also the last part of the letter talking about Frances and Love is in different handwriting the first part is about leaving the business and the last part is written by someone else saying he was commiting suicide.

COMMENT BY: Matthew DATE: Jan 31, 2007.

courtney love should blew her head off because she's good for nothing!

COMMENT BY: kurt-ara- DATE: Feb 07, 2007.

kurt will continue to struck our nerve through his unsuicidal music... total nirvana....

COMMENT BY: kurt-ara- DATE: Feb 07, 2007.

COMMENT BY: golu DATE: Feb 17, 2007.

he took 3 TIMES!! the lethal amount of heroine and couldnt even pick up the gun and courtney also had another note she was hiding that said he was leaving her and seattle

COMMENT BY: amanda DATE: Feb 24, 2007.

I think that it is one of those things that you will never know the truth about no matter how much you dig every one has a right to there opinion i think that he was very sad about his life and hurting inside and he did the only thing he could to make it stop and to stop from hurting others with the downwards spiral that he was in.

COMMENT BY: Lisa DATE: Mar 13, 2007.

i think kurt cobain did not kill himself, becuase he had to many things acomplished and he had a baby to take care of!! i've been on alot of sites lookin stuff that will help me track down if kurt really killed himself and i think courtney love killed him!! 68 people in the us have commited suicide bcuz they think that kurt killed himself and if he didnt and courtney did courtney should be put in jail not just for kurt but for those other 68 people who died bcuz they loved kurt that much!!

COMMENT BY: kurt_isnt_dead DATE: Mar 15, 2007.

i think that its a joke and Love did it i mean look at her shes a crazy bitch

COMMENT BY: Harley DATE: Mar 20, 2007.

he OD'd on heroin.

whether he shot himself or not doesn't really matter, right?

COMMENT BY: j DATE: Mar 26, 2007.

i love kurt donald cobain, he wrote great music, i do think courtney had something to do with his death, really i do, but all i know is he was a great song writer, and his music touched me.i wont ever forget nirvana, its such a shame we lost such a inspirational band, and he wasnt a druggie for that bitch who said tht up there, he went through shit, and helped himself the only way he could, so go get a life and dont bother those who mourn over such a great guy.
R.I.P kurt donald cobain.
=[.

COMMENT BY: chelsea marie__09 DATE: Mar 28, 2007.

Its sad that Kurt Cobain died and I think that he was murdered because the original suicide note had a different pen style than the rest of the note and that was the only part that sounded like a suicide note

COMMENT BY: The Camster DATE: Apr 06, 2007.

--- To This Ryan Brown Person

COMMENT BY: baba DATE: May 07, 2007.

i dunnoe neccesarily if courntey killed kurt, but he was indeed murdered and i love him and i hate whoever killed him with every ounce of hate i have in my body.

COMMENT BY: _Em.ee.gee.ayy.enn._ DATE: May 16, 2007.

whatever happened happened. ive looked at the evidence on both sides. and there is alot of overwhelming evidence that Kurt didnt kill himself.but either way its been way to long for it to be completely solved. the person who knew who killed him got hit by a fuckin train or atleast he said he knew who killed him. El Duce is dead. Courtneys bassist aswell as a detective she dealt with that knew about her and kurt is also dead. courtneys bassist died of a "drug overdose". and the detective was the first in 9 years to die in "action" there was 3 lethal doses of heroin in kurts system , the note had 2 different ppls writing and the bottom part does match courtneys writing. el duce said the name Alan in his final interview and PASSED the fuckin polygraph. theres soooooo much evidence that points to murder. theres also the past drug use and the depression that kurt had while being in the music business that could support the suicide Theory. I do believe that kurt was murdered and i will always be reading on it and studying the facts. the main thing that any of Kurts TRUE FANS could do is start a petition for Seattle to re open the investigation. If any of you wanna do this then we can always go to my site and do so in my forums. or we can just do it here. send emails to government officials to reopen it. do what you can.

COMMENT BY: Nomadic1 DATE: May 29, 2007.

I dont think that Kurt killed himself.He was probably suicidal,but he loved his daughter frances bean to death.And he always talked about the importance of being there for your child.Courtney had an oppertunity to kill him since he od'd that one time on pills and champagne.So she probably killed him and made it seem like a suicide.Plus I dont like it when people always talk about the bad things about Kurt.There is alot of things that made Kurt great and it wasnt the bad things .And he hated the way the world was .He didnt want people to be who they werent, he wanted them 2 be themselves.Kurt was just an awesome dude and people put him down for being himself.So what if he was wierd or bipolar or suicidal!It doesnt matter!All that matters is that he got his point throuh 2 people.He just wanted people 2 live in peace.He didnt want 2 be judged by any body but himself.Thats why I respect Kurt.He was just an............angel.He was awesome.I can go on for days telling u how awesome and down 2 earth Kurt is but I think im talking way 2 much.

COMMENT BY: linsey DATE: May 30, 2007.

I luv Kurt may he rest in peace

COMMENT BY: kc DATE: Jun 18, 2007.

Having read a lot of articles/books/biographys/journals about Kurt Cobain and his suicide, I am still very much confused over his death. However, through his childhood, his adolescence, and adulthood, he was never happy. Only as a baby until 6 he was perfectly inncoent&happy...but then most people are at that age. If you look at most pictures of Kurt he bares nothing but a face with sad eyes and a forced grin...sometimes a grimace. Being a drug addict, a bilpolar, and a hurt man I can understand wy he would want to end his life. RIP Kurt. You will always be in our thoughts...my toughts

COMMENT BY: Lil Lau DATE: Jun 25, 2007.

Kurt Cobain R.I.P whether it was murder or suicide is irrelevant what is relevant is that he will never truly be dead because we will remember his life and not his flaws which is what alota dumb bitches who deserve castration seem to focus on. FUCK U SUCK A DONKEY DICK and for the people who loved him and knew what he was a genius and a burnout a junkie and an artist a man and a child but most importanly what i think he will be remembered for is that he was the voice of a tortured generation-my generation so to all the fuckin idiots who cant wait to throw out bullshit comments about this and that: Kurt will never be dead. Why wont he be dead?...YOU (the true fan) WILL REMEMBER HIM.....R.I.P (p.s. Fuck Courtney Love If u Didn't kill him u sure as hell drove him to suicide dumb fuckin slut Fuck u and Billy Corgan cause hes a bitch)

COMMENT BY: nick DATE: Jun 28, 2007.

Courtney has got away with murder, i cringe every time i see her murderous ass on tv and switch it off.. She has litrally got away with it... Open back up this case, She has alot of explaining to do!

COMMENT BY: Dee DATE: Oct 04, 2007.

Courtney didn't kill kurt your just all to stupid to see that she loved him to much to do that to him grow and face the facts that kurt killd himself

COMMENT BY: tegan DATE: Nov 28, 2007.

TEGAN, SHUT THE FUCK UP!! Get your fact straight you stupid shit. The fact is, the ex-Mrs.Cobain, AKA the former Skank Nobody Groupie Heroin Addict who latched onto the famous Kurt and then suddenly managed to become Someone thanks to being Mrs. Cobain, apparently wanted him dead. Oh, she was pissed off, big time. And a lot of people knew this. Including Kurt, who decided he'd finally had quite enough of it, and her. When Courtney realized he was going to really file for divorce she asked her family lawyer, Rosemary Carroll, to find her the "meanest, most vicious divorce lawyer" she could. Because Kurt wasn't an idiot and Courtney was No One when they got married, she had been asked to sign a prenuptial agreement that would leave her with half of Kurt's money in the event of divorce. Courtney wanted someone who might be able to get her out of this agreement and change that. As it turns out, she inherited everything upon his death and always will have a steady stream of royalties and fame from his estate. Ms. Carroll was instrumental in starting an investigation into what really was going on. After his death, Rosemary contacted Tom Grant and said she had information she wanted to share and had come to believe Courtney was behind Kurt's death - she had the possible motive. COURTNEY LOVE IS GUILTY!!!!

COMMENT BY: kdc DATE: Jan 08, 2009.

I KNOW she killed him. I also know she killed El Duce who knew too much, and her bassist too who was leaving Hole. I have a new name for this psycho...CUNTNEY LOVE
