“smart” on-line adverts

15 05 2008

So I came back from my guy’s place a few days ago and continued what we were doing there… the watching naruto shippuunded bit that is . How i live in a a part of the world with less internet I stream it…so for the past 3 day i keep staring at the same ad under the video insert:

… and it won’t go away…the others change…but noooo,not that one , always there :-S

Ok, so I was in a susceptible state to begin with however after 3 days of watching that ad i fell utterly depressed and am more and more tempted to click it.

Now,as far as I know google and mozilla and all the other evil virtual things have that smart advertising thing and show you ads that might interest you based on your search history and so on and so forth. What have I googled to make them thing I might be looking for a cure for depression? “naruto stream” “otaku festival” “cosplay” ? And if they are that smart they should know someone like me if in a state of depression would not look for a cure! Heck, the idea of being depressed is based on not caring and …it just seems that smart advertising just isn’t all that smart is it?
