Targeted Ads (again)

Post: # 267926Post Odsox »

I don't know whether this is amusing or not, but it was a banner advert across the top of Durgan's post about combating obesity.
Or whether to be ashamed that it is an Irish advert, that most of you wouldn't normally see.
"Real men don't cook", so why do you think it targeted me ?
What do you think ?

Nice ad, not seen that over here. I'm being sold a car at the moment so yep, no rhyme nor reason sometimes... Mind you also get underfloor heating stuff everytime I come here oh and I often get asked if I want to buy a book called "Booze for Free"!

Good grief! :shock: I'm being offered Asian Beauties! Odd considering I've been reading about ash tree die back this evening and I'm not even a bloke, let alone a pervy one! :oops:

I made one comment - ONE single comment - on a thread here, and now I've got a permanent ad for Home Farmer.

Damn - that's two now. I'll never be rid of it. Although Asian Beauties has been gone for a while (testing ... testing ...).

I don't really pay much attention but today I'm getting the "1 Rule of a flat stomach" with the cartoon bikini clad woman. Funny thing though is I've just looked on a different forum I use and I get the same ads. I and the other half haven't posted on any thread concerning weight problems mind or even looked at those sort of products or advice.

I usually get the flat stomach, wrinke reduction and dementia. Should I worry?
