Today, whilst watching 'Skint' on 4OD (that is fascinating/repulsive, isn't it?), I was provided with the advert that was 'tailored' for me, which presumably means that it's based on what I like/watch. Interestingly, the advert was for Bulmer's. Which is alcoholic.
Now, if you added up all the alcohol I've ever consumed, it probably wouldn't surpass half a wine glass. Considering this, why on earth would they show me this? If it was about knitting, old Doctor Whos or Batman, then I'd be like 'wow, where is this amazing technology coming from?' But I'm not.
Cast your mind back to a couple of months ago; where were you? I was laughing at these two suggestions that Facebook made for me:
Given that I'm a gay vegetarian, calculate the probability that I would be interested in these ads. Even if you didn't blag your way through a Statistics exam last week, you'd know that it was 0. I was also recommended a post that glorified Tories. I wasn't impressed.
So get your facts right internet, yeah? And more funny animals please.
Yours uninterestedly,
M.
P.S. I got my sore throat diagnosed as tonsillitis on Monday- I have some lovely penicillin tablets that taste like cat food as well.
P.P.S. Skint is hilarious. Watch it.
