What the Hell is Google Advertising?

This line just showed up at the top of my Gmail Inbox:

Suicide Thoughts? - www.GodTest.com - Take this quick test to find answers.

I'm not about to click that link, and anyone who's trying to make some quick cash off suicidal people instead of referring them to a doctor is an odious individual.

Highlights:
It's a quiz with a bunch of questions like:
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

The Scripture means:
I will not perish if I believe in Jesus.
I'm doomed.

Then after you complete the quiz, this pops up in a window:
Don't leave this page
until you Sign up for
10 Days of Encouagement Below

On the last page(after you've completed the quiz), these are the highlights:
HURT? CLICK HERE!
IN PAIN? CLICK HERE!
CAN'T BE FORGIVEN? CLICK HERE!

If you are in need of counseling, check out our free couseling resources

I don't think it's Google, it goes to a website with the name righttotheheart.com/spiritual_survey
