My facebook ads seem to have come down with amnesia. Suddenly they've forgotten all the helpful demographic information I've provided and are just flinging random pitches at me and hoping I'll be the target for one of them. "Are you getting married soon? Redecorating your bedroom? Do you need a pair of socks? 9 days for complete detox! Waste your time with games on Flash? Or were you in a big car crash? Christian singles want to date! Try 1 weird trick to lose some weight! Make money sitting on your ass! Sign up for a new online class! If you're a geek, well here's a shirt! Please WORK with us! Give us the dirt! What interests can we utilize when jamming ads into your eyes?"

"My info? That you've always had! Just check my profile, Sam-I-Ad!"

Did you perhaps reject an ad recently? I did that to the bridal ads* I kept seeing, and now my ads are all over the place. It's also fun to screw with the demographic information - several of my female friends turned themselves in to men and suddenly their ads became self-esteem boosters instead of 'you look ugly and need a man!' things.

*I wouldn't object to the bridal ads, except they are ALL of heterosexual couples, and it's really damn boring. Throw in a gay couple for once! Or go gender neutral and let us guess!

Mine loves giving me adds to "meet other hot gay guys on cruises" - i am female, not gay, and don't like cruising ;)

You mean you don't hang out with hot gay guys on cruises in YOUR spare time?

Cute -- and all too true!

For a while Facebook was desperately convinced that I owned a horse and a baby, and wanted to sell me expensive cutesy items for both. (Sometimes I was not entirely sure which the item was aimed at.)

My brain went immediately to the Daddle.

Oh god. I had managed to block that from my mind until now.
