Basically, instead of resolving the IP address of googlesyndication.com through your (or your ISPs) DNS server, it gets it from the host file as 127.0.0.1. 127.0.0.1 is a local loopback address; it is *always* the local machine you are at. Basically, it resolves to your local machine, gets nothing, and allows the page you are trying to view to finish loading.
