Frellin' Google ads are scary.
 
The frakkin' thing must be reading my cookies.

I looked up something for someone regarding 'vacuum pumps', and now? The google ads are showing me ads for their Google Shopping for some vacuum pump vendors.

Dude... that's just... wrong.

I get it, really, but it's not like I'm *all over that with salsa*. It was just a simple search.

Creepy. Stalkerish.

I think I'm gonna block them. That's just too out there. :fear:

Yes, they do read your cookies. It freaked me out too at first until I realized this.

Yeah I did a couple searches looking for a wheelchair for my dad and now....every now and again, I see some elderly woman in a wheelchair waving at me through a google ad...craziness.

On this page right now the google ads are for vacuum pumps!


Thanks a lot houtex.


I've noticed I get ads for the local car dealership. You know 'that' place with the weird commercials and the high pressure salesman.
