Topic: Bizarre choice by "AdChoices"

[Peripatetic Phil]

Just reviewing my personal "sent messages" folder, and this popped up by courtesy of "AdChoices" :

Talend Open Source ESB : Open Source ESB Based on Apache CXF and Apache Camel. Free Download!

Now I thought I was IT-literate (after 35 years in the profession) but (a) WTH is an "ESB" (and for that matterm WTH are Apache CXF and Apache Camel ?), and (b) which member of "AdChoices" thought, in a moment of ?temporary? insanity,  it might be of interest or relevant to members of a forum devoted entirely to curries ?!

** Phil.

Fullers ESB is a nice drop.

AdChoice ads are, to my knowledge, targetted at users and not sites. So, since you used to work in the IT field these ads seem targetted at YOU (and not this forum) instead.

Similarily, I get ads for Project Management on this site, but I work in IT, too !

So why do I get ads for Viagra, Baldness and lesbian dwarves, when I'm not bald?

Well, I have just been offered

    Lose 4 Stone in 3 Months?
    Discover the Shocking Truth About Britain's Hottest Diet...
    SomeSite.com/Diet

I can't help feeling that when AdChoices interrogated my webcam it got back a very distorted and unflattering view of my waistline ...

Hahaha.

I get those as well. Not interested in most of those, but I like to wear Doc Martins, check shirts and short hair, and attracted to women so maybe I'm targetted as a lesbian.
