I clicked on an ad for an (as is turned out) wildly overpriced Intel PC case and it's been stalking me ever since at work where tenfourfox inconveniently does not support extensions such as ad block.

GreyHair was over at my place the other day, casually browsing thermal underwear on Little Blue, and now every other page I visit is thrusting big grey knickers in my face.

I may have clicked on one or two, but I don't recall making a purchase directly as a result. I certainly don't click on them habitually.
It's odd, but recently I've been trialling antivirus software, and the software that I have installed is the one that seems to be placed on the pages that I visit. First it was F-secure, then Kapersky, not I'm getting NOD32 ads. Curious.
I'm also quite fed up with those bloody ads for photo smoothing software. I can't imagine why they think I'd want that. <looks at self>. Oh :(
It is somewhat disturbing that ads on websites know what you've been looking at even when you understand the processes behind it.
I got some pyjamas for the missus for Christmas, and now every ad is geared towards lingerie and shows ladies in their underwear. :) It is the same site that I'd ordered from though, so the prices are the same.
Mostly any attempt to view ladies in their undercrackers meets with scorn and more than a little anger.
I have recently had a new infatuation with a famous person. My old flame for Nicole Kidman is out and Amy Adams is in. The wife (being ginger) grudgingly approves.

We need some documentary photos of a hairless bastard.
