What are the Trekbbs ads trying to sell to you?

I hear there's this thing called SOAP that works quite well...

Well, yes it does, but SOAP can be tricky to implement if you don't know what you're doing.

Seriously, though, soap can dry out your skin. I actually use Neutrogena cleanser, although I've never felt the need to buy it online. (And that's actually a brand outlier for me, since all my other facial products are Nivea.)
 
'Asian Charm' Chinese dating. As if there isn't enough Chinese infiltration into this country already...
 
I typed the word "date-worthy" into another thread, and now I am getting advertisements that seem to think I want to "date naughty moms". Wow.

I know, right? I'm mystified as to what I did to make this algorithm think I want to date Arab women.
I mean, I have no problem with that in itself, but my tastes run towards blonde and Swedish, so it
clearly isn't in my porn search history....

Oops, was that TMI....? :wtf:

Seriously, I have stopped wondering about how these things are presented to us 'consumers'.
My mind's eye doesn't even see them anymore, their just there, like that pile of poop
on your lawn that your neighbor won't admit to his dog producing.

:shrug: :)
 
Yes! I also have grown used to tuning out advertisements. This particular one was rather large and had a big picture of a pregnant woman with another small child. Was pretty hard to ignore. An Arab dating site I can understand, being a cultural thing. I didn't realize there was a market though for people specifically looking for moms!

It takes all kinds, I guess.
 
I am seeing more and more of the "Naughty Moms" advertisements. I am only getting these here, so I don't know what is going on. Is this really a turn on for men? These women are very pregnant.

I think the appeal is that if she is pregnant than it means she has sex, Human psychology can be really silly at times. Reminds me of that "Seinfeld" joke about why they find maids to be hot. It's because they are in your bedroom. I'm sure some desire for family also figures into the mix. Being with someone who is pregnant is a common thing in marriage and marriage equals family.

iPad minis. I broke my iPad :weep: Tried to stick the screen down and now it had gone rogue on me and brings up pages I don't want it to. I need to buy a new one but I just don't want to spend the money.
 
A free ticket to what the ad does not tell what (that's a bizarre one), another hotel franchise, and a "Fan ID" for visa-free travel to Russia for the FIFA World Cup. So, now Google AdSense not only thinks I'm planning a trip, it also thinks I'm interested in football. Soccer, that is.
I get the impression the collecting and analyzing of personal data by Google is not as sophisticated as we're made to believe.
 
Lay Matures. Picture of a mature lady, probably my age, sat on the edge of a sofa. To be fair, I do quite fancy the glass of wine in her hand.
 
The same lay matures image as above, but I’ve noticed the sofa the lady is sat on, and the pillow behind her, are from ikea, and are just like the ones I have.

Targeted marketing?

They might be watching you through your webcam, and you are unaware they activated it
remotely...

:eek: :crazy: ;)
