When I'm browsing the internet in Ireland, my computer knows I'm in Ireland.
This information is used to automatically redirect me to region-specific sub-sites, deny me access to my favourite foreign TV shows, and entice me with hot young girls in my area who want to "have sex tonight".
Okay, so I sound a little begrudging, but at least it makes sure that I'm only exposed to pertinent advertising. Like this PSA from the American Heart Association...
Dial 911 at the first sign of a stroke? I'll have to bear that in mind, and forget about that Irish emergency services number I had committed to memory...

As a blogger who is devoted to his cause, I dialed 911 on my phone to test this out.
It connected me to the emergency services. (I promptly hung up rather than admitting that I'm some dumbass with a blog tying up their phonelines).
How many dumb Europeans will this ad kill? None.
All those hot young girls are in Dublin, annoyingly.
