These Google Ads are kinda freaking me out now... |

Edited on Tue May-30-06 10:50 PM by ZombieNixon
I click on my Milwaukee's Best thread and these are the ads I get:
India: Taste all that India has to offer with Essence of India Tours. Book Today!
India: Give to the Disaster Response Fund. Help Children and Families!
India: Find Deals for India. Less for Airfare and Hotels!
India has nothing to do with Milwaukee's Best. Do you think the ads can sense my ethnicity or something? :shrug: :scared:

3. Google uses a tracking cookie |
|
So yes, if you've searched for prices on airfare to India or something you'd get targeted ads. Apparently they fine tune it pretty well, all the ads in my gmail account are for vegan chocolates and sexy underwear. :shrug:

11. Yes. Google was invented by the NSA to find out about you, ZombieNixon. |
|
This is why DU was invented as well, to find out about you, ZombieNixon.
But don't be paranoid. It's already too late, Google and DU knows everything, all the details.

16. Well, you are at least the center of attention. |
|
Mostly the reason Dick Cheney stays in an undisclosed location is to study the files on you, ZombieNixon. He doesn't want you to know that he knows.
But I know.
And now you know.
And Dick Cheney will find out that you know.
