PHILIPSBURG:--- It appears as though the House of Parliament of St. Maarten is doing a special promotion for 2014 Valentine's Day. On Wednesday afternoon the
Technical Support Team of Parliament chose to stream "GEEK ONLINE DATING, Looking for Geek match, meet and date on GEEK 2 GEEK." The advertisements started the moment the live broadcast started and the President of Parliament Gracita Arrindell opened the meeting. Even during the moment of silence the only advertisement was the one from GEEK Online Dating. Other dating sites were also being streamed during the live meeting on Wednesday. "Why can't I find a date? Maybe I am looking in the wrong place." This was followed by the website of another dating site.
The online dating ads were also streaming throughout the presentation of Prime Minister Sarah Wescot Williams when she was outlining the position paper drafted by her Ministry to deal with electoral reform.
When Member of Parliament William Marlin made his presentation the advertisement was "Should Obama be Impeached? Vote Now!" All of the advertisements that were streaming were ads from Google Ads.
It is clear that someone working in the technical department is promoting "Google Ads" for a fee or the Parliament of St. Maarten is doing extra business on their website.
