Actually, the ads generally arent random at all. They are generated from keywords related to the story you are reading. The theory being that you are interested in reading about x, so they tailor the ads towards x. Pointing to CNN is probably oversimplifying, as it is the ad company that generates this ad. But I have seen numerous airline ads on articles about plane crashes, etc. It's just one of those times where the ad-bot generates a ridiculous response.
