I know the Google ads sniff your IP or something and the topics on the page when showing ads. It's just that I don't understand how come am I (from northern Europe) now getting ads in hebrew - if that's what it is?

I don't know any Russian myself, but that doesn't look like it to me. If it isn't some funny font..

I'm pretty sure that's Hebrew. See that question mark at the beginning? Hebrew reads from right to left, so the question mark is actually at the end of the sentence. Russian does not.

I can't read modern Hebrew, but I can read second temple hebrew, and the alphabet used in the banner ad is identical to second temple hebrew (at least, the stuff used in the Hebraica Stuttgartensia).

If thats russian then... omg! I can read Russian!

Yes, it is hebrew. And i got the same thing oddly enough :S (Australia)

Maybe on the site it has english? But the description is in hebrew?

I brought out the English/Hebrew dictionary. It translates to:

(Remember, in the actual hebrew it goes from right to left)

Title: Freedom/liberty - [something]
Description: [something] - quality - to all - goals/aim

Now i was stuck on the [somethings] so i brought in my bro to help me out, turns out one letter didnt come out in the low resolution - change the letter and i get "Headphones" for both [somethings]. So:

Title: Liberty Headphones
Description: Quality Headphones to all goals (to all goals? i dont get it).

[edit]: Crap! Itay beat me to it, and did a much better job. Stupid english/hebrew dictionary. :p

[edit2]: Btw Itay, where in Israel do you live?
