Technology stereotypes too

You know how Facebook alters its advertisements to appeal to viewers individually? I guess some sort of FB stereotyping system decided that wedding dress, engagement and baby apparel ads would suit me, because even when I clear them off of my screen- repeatedly might I add- more of them spawn with a persistence that I am beginning to question. I don't understand the engagement ring ads either. I'm not the one who should be looking at those. It should be directed to men, am I right?

Is it because I'm twenty (still young!), or is it because all of my friends are married and many already have children? Maybe it's because I have a vagina, and everyone knows that all women aspire to do is to get married and breed. And obviously, because I am a university student, I must need alcohol rehab, because I'm such a drunk.

Alright, alright, maybe I have no room to talk, considering that one of my labels that my sidebar includes "me and booze." And all of these relationship statuses that are shifting from "in a relationship" to "engaged" are really starting to make me want a drink. So scratch the previous sarcasm.

But I don't need rehab. Seriously. I don't!

  1. I'm married so now I've upgraded to baby food ads. The other day it was baby strollers and weed. I was confused, but pleased.

    Weed, really? Facebook must have upgraded its system. Illegal variety!

  3. Facebook adverts piss me off. That is why I stick to my iPod app as much as possible, no adds. It's still super boring reading all the things my friends think are interesting enough to post, but at least I don't have to do it with annoying advertisements flashing in my face.

  6. I'm single so I get a lot of ads for dating sites, and because of my age I get a lot of school ads plus some really random ones for stuff like cold medicine and London Drugs.
