What on earth are you trying to sell me, adserver?

I got the Mormon ad, too. Unless you're trying to sell me tickets to The Book of Mormon (as in the musical), I'm not interested.

And the wedding dress ads have followed me to TVT.

It wants me to download my free software now but neglects to tell me what software it is.

I'm not gonna fall for that one, adserver.

Oh and it also wants to sell me insurance.

Mature singles (40+)? I'm not that old and already in a relationship. Pass.

Adserver seems to be a bit behind the times, according to all the poorly-made clickbait ads informing me that BARACK OBAMA URGES HOMEOWNERS TO PAY THEIR MORTGAGE IF THEY OWN A HOUSE (CLICK YOUR AGE!) or whatever.

It was going so well until it exploded.

I've either been getting Extreme-Sports ads or weird Mormon stuff. I'm not even religious, Adserver!

Why do I keep getting ads for snack foods in Spanish? Is it because I live in a state with a large Spanish-speaking population?

I was also getting a lot of Papa John's pizza ads (in English this time). Stop making me hungry, adbot!

Now I'm getting the Mormon ads too. On the plus side, I guess, I got one on the Stephenie Meyer page.

Driveway repair, tax reports, diet snacks, and the National Education Association. That's an odd assortment. I already did my taxes, don't have a driveway, don't need to go on a diet (unless you count cutting down on sugar), and I'm not a teacher.

Adbot is tempting me with a The Legend of Zelda artwork exhibit. Why must you tempt me so?

Geico and Progressive on the same page? Adbot must be really concerned about me being insured as a driver. (I already am.)

Why would I be interested in buying excavation machinery for mining operations, adserver?

Also: tactical flashlights. As in, flashlights that are so bright that according to the advertisement, they can "blind a bear". I'm pretty certain this thing is a nonlethal antipersonnel weapon, and it should be advertised as such. Humans are more reliant on eyesight than bears, anyway.

Why would ANYONE buy mining equipment because they saw an internet ad? Like, what even is that ad's target audience? [lol]

Apparently the adserver also wants me to become a Mormon. And get another fitness tracker...for my mission, maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Mormon ads are telling me, "See how the book of Mormon can increase your faith in Jesus Christ!" Now, I'm not a religious person in the slightest, but isn't this a bit like saying, "See how cars can take you to the store"?

[up][up]I'm getting the Mormon ads as well.

Obviously, adserver is wanting us to become Mormons.

OH NOES. Sad animal abuse ads. I've been googling "How to help a puppy mill dog," as in how to help her adjust to living in my house because I've already adopted her, and now I want to adopt ALL the dogs. T-T

I'm still getting the cookie ads in Spanish, plus ads for the new Legend of Zelda art book. I'd be interested if it's not a republishing of Hyrule Historia with a bit of extra material.

Adserver I don't want Spanish cheese it grooves or go to Alabama.

I keep getting those Spanish Cheese-It ads, too. I do understand some Spanish, but I don't want Cheese-Its.

I'm probably a bit too old for those Hello Kitty multi-vitamins.

Um, adserver? Why are you trying to sell me a meal replacement called "Soylent"?

And is it made out of people? surprised
