Ready, Fire, Aim
Senator Liz Figueroa comes out shooting from the hip, comparing contextual ads in GMail to "having a giant billboard inside your home." I completely agree that we should stop at nothing to remove anything that resembles a giant billboard inside the home. That's why I'm drafting legislation that will abolish television!
Actually, what these are is tiny, inobtrusive text-based ads that are considerably less annoying than... oh well, you know what I think. I believe it would be a good idea to allow an opt-out for users who want to pay an annual fee to use GMail, but the fee would likely be steep. Google management seems to be considering this option now.
