Supposedly 'smart' ads...

[Denzark]

I understand some internet ads are supposed to be clever and send you local services, or things you have bought before.

Why oh why are the adds on my BoLS Lounge side pane offering me Stannah Stair lifts and M&S Lingerie???

[Psychosplodge]

Because you haven't installed an ad-blocker?

Splodge for the love of the Good Lord. You sort of invite a follow on question there...

How in the name of the Emperor's black bones do I achieve such a feat of internet presdigatation and trickery?

[Grailkeeper]

Funnily enough I've never seen any of those hot singles in my area.



I think my Nadir when it came to targetted advertising was once I got ads for a Gay Chubby Dating site. I'm not gay, but I'd like to think if I was I could get a fella who at least looked after himself.

You must make pilgrimage to Big Ben, there you must ask the Elders of the Internet for thou most holy ad-blocker. :D

I was getting ads for Gaydar.com for a straight week. Now all I get are ads for crappy facebook games / free MMOs or banks selling me credit cards to shop online. Not sure if I should be insulted or not.

Maybe they think you're gay, but have given up all hope?


On a more serious note a friend of mine ended up having to defend some poor gay teacher because some of the images he viewed on Gaydar turned out to be of underage boys. I'd definitely steer clear of that site regardless of orientation.

I lol'd - actually out loud - at work - thanks!

And speaking of work - they seem to block about 95% of all ads...so I'm good there...

type adblock plus into the add-ons part of firefox...

I don't know if this was intentional or not, but Gaydar for a Straight week is hilarious. Did you get StraightSingles on a Gay week?

Recently, I've been getting a lot of Cosplay Costume sites... which makes a little sense, at least. My girlfriend cosplays, so I end up checking out cosplay sites, or she does on my computer.

The Acorn Stairlift, though, makes no sense.

Need to delete your history/cookies and also what cosplay sites? lol

[eldargal]

Bah, I never get cosplay or lesbian porn ads, how dissapointing. I get '400 Bad Request' and ads for Dicebucket.

Hm lesbian cosplay. Now I need to find a plaid flannel shirt and perhaps a false moustache.

[Denzark]

And comfortable shoes mayhaps?

I think that's just straight up roll playing at that point :p
