Sigh. Where are we going? Why are we in this handbasket? I made a GIF for you, Lisa. See my profile.

Funny. :) I don't think they are big brother. Or are they? I think it is odd they insert their own advertising. But that they place the advertising above the other ads. Seems to fly against relevant adwords.

This is what I see on the left side where the adwords are: Shouldn't Google's "answers" adword be at the bottom because less people are interested in it? [ You ask. We tell. ]
Hard questions? Try Google Answers.

Yes, I see the same thing. Except they are on the right side of my screen. (If your monitor is upside down, then you can correct the problem by standing on your head.) Searching for "travel" I get three ads. Google's irrelevant ad with near-zero popularity on the green bar is right on top. Oh well, I don't buy ads so what do I care? But I can see how someone who does buy ads would have objections to this technique....

Correct, my second left. The right hand side it is. I do buy ads. And it flies in the face of what they say about showing only the most relevant ads.
