Perhaps I should start dating women, since Google think I should.

I was happily watching funny videos on Youtube when this flash ad tried to grab my attention with a greasy belly of a toned man.

Help!

Just realized that the ad on Jezebel.com is for Intel processors.

I remember that back in Singapore, I would get arty farty ads.

Strange.

I'm now reading a really cool manga call Ooku (Oukuu). It's about an alternate universe in medieval Japan where a lot of boys and men die because of some weird disease. 

At the time the comic is set, there is only a quarter of men to women. So women are the rulers while men become commodities (a tool to get you babies). 

Anyway, the ads targeted on the site is really weird. Most were about babies. How did it know that my womb is empty and needs to be occupied by a growing embryo?

Or do embryo-less women read comics? Or was it the type of comic I'm reading?

1

ZYX hospital, your destination down the long road of hoping for a child.

2

I think this is an abortion ad: Microtubes for micro artificial miscarriage. Keep a woman's right to be a mother.

3

"Good luck" will come immediately. Pun on "luck", sounds like "pregnancy".

4

Not all was about making babies. There was one for car insurance.

5
This is so facepalm-y:
Reconstruct a younger private part, ignite a woman's second sex drive period (something like that)!

Conquer men till the end! Men will never leave you.

Comment: Hmmm...A tight vajaja means men can't get enough of me???

So you work at an ad agency for a tween-oriented site where pre-teen kids can design avatars and do stuff. Sort of Second Life NC17.
Your boss tells you to make a series of Twilight-themed ad to plaster around the Internet to burn into people's retina.
And boss says you must buy every keyword that is Twilight related. That includes Twilight (duh), eclipse, new moon, etc etc etc.
You did.
But...did you realize that it might appear somewhere you don't want it to be at?

For example, under a pile of dung?

It's quite disgusting, almost pedophilic.

The large font says: Lets you choose the way you like it best. and "Help us elder brother"
And down below. it says: Female gamers: 46285 people. (seriously?!)

And notice the hands on the "nurse's" face. It's my cursor. *puke, maybe I'll scratch her eyes out first.

Babies

I should have seen this coming. Baby milk powder commercial for a baby-related film.

I would think that mothers are too busy to watch videos. But it might be targeted at moms-to-be. My twitching ovaries and I do not need baby milk powder.

Where: Tudou
What were you doing: Watching a video called Babies.

Update: Minutes later while looking at a gossip site. Another baby milk powder ad followed me. Go away!

I asked my colleague to check the same page and his was a serious ad for some financial service.
What did I read to let them link me to Chanel?

As you can see, I already was on the net using Chrome, but they still need to tell me to switch.
At least say, Thanks for using Chrome. Is it that difficult?

Spotted on Sept 13, 2010
In RSS feed for some Cheezburger Network site

My deduction: Was targeted because my IP is in Asia. Does it also target me as a female: Put yourself on exhibition for serious Western gentlemen (as opposed to lighthearted guys?)

PS: I also have some Not really safe for work ads which I will be putting here too.

Targeted advertising is a type of advertising whereby advertisements are placed so as to reach consumers based on various traits such as demographics, purchase history, or observed behavior.
-From Wikipedia

I started my collection of screenshots of targeted ads when I found this on Youtube.

Mm

A real example of No money, no honey. At least for the guys.
