Ironic advertising on Obestity Help

I'm not really hating or anything....

I just think it's a little funny....

I've been seeing banner ads recently for World of Warcraft!

I think this is funny, since I used to play WoW, and it really inspired me to:

- Sit idle in front of the computer for long periods of time
- Eat and drink as something to do while waiting for raids to form
- Keep me from being more active because I wanted to be logged-in to "not miss anything"

(insert South Park World of Warcraft players image here - I know one of you will)

It's funny to see ads for surgery, protein, surgeon, protein shot, .... World of Warcraft?!  My apologies if you're a current WoW-head, and my kudos if you're a current WoW-head and going to the gym!

Happy holidays everybody!!!

Someone saw an ad for M&Ms and was pissed and others responded by saying the ads were from google based on your preferences and they weren't OH ads. I have yet to see any off the wall ads on here...

I think those are Google ads you're seeing... depending on what kinds of things are saved in your computer. I don't see any WoW ads at all... but I probably will now that I mentioned it!

The magic of cookies and such.  I go to my investment boards and get WLS adds.  Here at the top I get investment ads.  CRAZY!

Yep-dang Big Brother always knows where your computer has been....or tells MAMA where the boys have been--since I signed on, 30 minutes ago, I have had pop ups for big boobs and pizza--and I haven't ordered either one...ok-there's one for coffee K-cups--THAT one is mine..

Google does this for you.  I am seeing protein.  Because - that's relevant to my browser history.

It clearly worked.
