Not sure what you exactly did a search for, but I typed in "swings" into Google and this is what returned for their targeted ads.

Hmmm. Maybe it was just 'swing'. I'm at work right now so I'm not about to try it again until I get home.

On a side note, I hope Gmail is not like Google's search engine with the targeted advertising. I did a search for 'swings' to find a swing for my son's swingset and the targeted advertising I was given was of the "Meet Adult Swingers In Your Area!" and "Swingers XXX" kind. Yech.
