Collection of adverts Facebook has hit me with over last week.

Think they’re hinting at something?

You must’ve been talking about women a lot. I made a joke about pregnancy on my wall, and now I’m inundated with ads for free baby stuff! I guess they think I’m too cheap to buy anything for my potential baby.

Hey, it doesn’t take a supercomputer to figure out that you’re single, and that you spend your entire time on FB looking at the profiles of 21-25 year old hotties.

Me, I get ads telling me how to lose weight. Err. Hello? Facebook? I weigh ten and a half stone.

Maybe weight loss is the default position?

No, I also get ads for garages, “get paid to take surveys”-type ads, ads for companies that sell ads, and sometimes (not often, but sometimes…) stuff I might actually be interested in.

Mostly though, it’s the one saying “5 ways to lose belly fat”. If I lost any fat from my belly, you could see my spine from the front.

Bwhahaha. Lucky for me, I have yet to be sucked into the whole Facebook thing. No worries. I’m sure I’ll sign up in 2 years when it’s not cool anymore just like I did with mypace. Oh well. What can I say, I’m not trendy. I will say the last time I was on, I had an advert for Chuck E Cheese … yeck.

I’ve just started getting ads for wedding photographers. Babies and weddings…has facebook been talking to my mother?

Jasus, I’m not getting ads for any of those, and my relationship status is listed as “engaged”. Maybe these targeted ads aren’t as targeted as Facebook would like to think they are.
