Ads

So I was reading an article about a cherpumple (the cherry pie, apple pie, pumpkin pie baked into a 3 layer cake) online today, and one commenter said that he thinks it's funny that this article is surrounded by diet ads. So I look at the ads, and it turns out that the ads are targeted to the browser/search history of the computer, as my ads are for things like fashion, the LA Phil, and a pop culture website. So this guy thinks the diet ads are targeting the pie-cake article, but they're actually just targeting him. Which sort of makes me feel bad for him for outing himself as a diet connoisseur (or at least someone who has searched enough diets or diet products to get ads about it).
