OK...targeted advertising is starting to

[wicked_c6]

really piss me off.

I've noticed it getting better and better and producing ads on the boards I visit or websites I peruse.

Last week I was searching for bathroom vanities and sinks. All last week - every site I'd go to had advertisements for bathroom remodels. Emails came in from Home Depot/Lowes with the exact items I was researching. End of last week I am searching Zales and a few other places for an anniversary gift for my wife. This week I get emails from them and every other jeweler under the sun.

Getting kind of scary how quickly they can track you and you searches.

Sadly, no targeted advertising for the hookers I was looking up last week. Give me something I can use please.
