And now it is showing me ads for some Greek mythology game.

Adbot is so cute when it tries to be relevant to my interests. (Psst, adbot, turning myself into a deformed-looking cartoon is not relevant, btw.)

I'm getting an ad for a "retro cell phone handset" that looks like the model is pleasuring herself by rubbing one side of a pair of headphones on her face.

What.

The adserver keeps trying to sell me special edition Buffy soda.

I watched ONE episode of that show! ONE! Get off my back ad server!

On the previous page (before I started typing this) there were ads for R Vs and mortgages.

Silly Adbot, those things are for people with money!

At the top of the page, while I'm typing this, is an ad for "sexiest swimwear online".

Yeah, like ANYONE wants to see me in a bikini. (I'm a man, by the way.)

EDIT: Now I keep getting ads for Lasik Plus.

How did it know I can't see for shit without my glasses? And why does it think I want to change this?

Sometimes, when I browse somewhat related tropes, the adserver tries to hook me up with Muslim girls.

Now it is showing me ads for designer shoes.

I blame my dream the other night. But at least it is somewhat relevant.

Not relevant to my interests: it is also trying to sell me a Harlequin romance novel.

Dear Ad Bot: I already have a PS3, I don't search a new bank and I don't need Google as start page. If I want to google something, I just use the google bar that's implemented in Opera and Firefox and I always use the "continue last session" option anyway.

No, adserver, I do not need to bank my baby's cord blood since I do not intend to have children.

Sorry, I'm not going to the University of Phoenix next year, AdBot. You're kind of close though, with college being relevant.

Hey, Adbot's right for once. I do need a new phone.

However, I don't need a manicure or pedicure.

It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.

It would seem the ad server, like many people, has mistaken me for a German. This is almost becoming a running joke.

It's still trying to get me to read Harlequin romances, this time by convincing me that the book is about knitting, even going so far as to show me pictures of pretty yarn in order to pique my interest.

You can't fool me, adserver. I still see the little Harlequin logo.

Weirdest "wtf" ad I have seen anywhere lately is one of the current Project Wonderful ads on the MSPA site: "BECOME A BABY. Retain your adult knowledge and assume the form of a human infant. Your satisfaction GUARANTEED." I kid you not. Clicking the ad out of curiosity led me to a site selling T-shirts that I presume the people who designed them think are amusing.
