More problems for Microsoft.
Microsoft says it's not responsible for an Internet ad for its search engine, that showed an image of murdered 7-year-old, Somer Thompson.
The little girl was abducted and killed near her Orange park home last year, and her picture had been showing up on an advertisement for Microsoft's BING search engine. Microsoft says the ad was actually provided through Yahoo's advertising partner, and they are aware of the situation. So far Yahoo has not commented on the situation. Some web advertisers use randomly generated images to drive traffic to those ads. Those images are sometimes based on pictures associated with popular web searches. It's not clear if that was the case with this ad, or if the image was used purposefully.
Microsoft is so big they cant't keep up with what's going on.
