2. Wow. I had NO IDEA that FB uses all your profile info to target you. Genius. I guess that is why I don't get ads for dating services (married), but I do get ads for anit-aging cures (I turn 40 on Dec 29th, clinging to my 30's to the bitter end of 2009), ads about my credit score, and my favorites....ads about that terrible reality show The Cougar. NICE. You learn something new everyday.

I have Adblock, and they never showed up until just a couple of days ago, and now I'm subjected to endless ads about how I need laser hair removal and teeth whitening. I need a better filter, apparently.

But I have noticed a far stronger Christian contingent on fb than say, myspace. So perhaps that has something to do with it? Since I don't see the other ads I am only guessing that might be a factor.

I don't think it's inappropriate for the demographic, and I really wish that FB would stop doing stuff like this that gives me the sads.

1) One hand is high in the ass of the other

2) Another hand is cupping a boob

3) Another hand is pulling up a shirt

4) Another hand is drifting towards the crotch of the third

There's also some pelvis-to-pelvis grinding going on there. Like it or not there's a line in most people's minds between what you would see in Maxim and what you'd see on bangbus.com. That picture frankly drifts on the porno side of the line for me.

i have two thoughts:

are Amazon and FB cross training these days?

why the fuck have *I* not gotten any sexy girl ads? b/c i have set as 'married'? if so, what business does FB have telling me what is or isnt acceptable in the context of my relationship? perhaps i might see something that we *both* might be interested in~

cheap flights to Germany? wow, that really is targeted.

add for a play opening in DC? ok, I guess

Dane Cook live in Baltimore? WTF?!??! what aspect of my profile would ever indicate I would want to pay money to see that douchebag perform his stale, unfunny routine? screw you, facebook!

Seriously I know I am a dinosaur--who still believe in writing letters on stationery and still uses a book dictionary--but there seems to be negative news about this FB phenomena, so what is the deal?

 Reply

Dammit, they all know me in real life, I'm sure they already know.

My question would be, does Facebook allow other lesbian ads (I certainly hope they do); for example, an ad for the same movie, with 2 women holding hands? I know I probably give the benefit of the doubt too much but I think that would be less sexual and more compliant with their stated policy.

Again, i don't agree with the policy and I like the ad. I'll join the fan page AND probably see the movie :)

I think this was banned due to the threesome aspect, an oversight, or the bigoted actions of a single employee. I find it hard to believe that facebook has a problem with teh gayz, based on the other lesbian ads I see everyday, and the way more explicit content of the ads which appear on my gay male friends' pages.
