Or is this Google Ad spam ?

I know there is a lot of buzz around Google collecting personal info, albeit to give us very targeted ads.

I was searching (in Google Chrome's Incognito mode) for some jquery hover effects when Google Ads stunned me with this http://i.imgur.com/SaCOG.png on the Page 1

Why such an irrelevant ad ? I thought that Google has fairly smart algorithms in place for this. Am I missing something here?
