I just got one for what looks to be the German equivalent of classmates.com.

An ad for SOAP.com showing me, as samples of their wares, the three items sitting in my shopping cart and a fourth I looked at but decided I didn't need. Good work reading cookies, there, adserver, but if I didn't know how you did it I dare say I'd be more creeped out than impressed.

@anne - scan the windows on your house, obviously

While we're at it, adserver, I am neither French nor Dutch, and even if I were, I do not require banking services in either of those countries

  • A German website for finding your old friends from school.

Ok, Adserver, Ich kann weder lesen noch sprechen Deutsch (I can't read or speak german). I only know a few words, and many of them are swear words. I don't even think any of my school friends can speak german, nor do I think any of them have ever even been to Germany.

  • "Pre-qualify for the Orchard Bank Visa Card"

Wow, I was wondering why I haven't seen one of these in the mail for a while. They're using banner ads, which you can't just put through a paper shreader. A great financial decision on their part.

Since our adserver is now trying to sell me bookkeeping software and high speed Internet and both are things that would be nice to have at work and thus actually relevant, I shall present you with this bit of WTF from the MSPA site's adserver.

I've seen that "become a baby" ad before, but sadly it seems to be just a joke.

Yeah, clicking on it leads to a page for some book called Veins. But the ad is still made of wut.

Now I'm getting "Date wealthy men!" ads instead of "Date hot women!" ads. And the man pictured in them is kind of old.

Well now, look at that lovely double standard there.
