One thing that mystifies me about internet advertizing - on Watch Forums, I’ll see ads with middle-aged women with improbably large breasts, telling me they don’t like YOUNGER men, they want ME! Well, that makes sense. You gotta figure most watch collectors are old enough that a “Cougar” would qualify as a ‘Younger Woman’.

Here, we’ll see ads for Sarah Palin’s book or Ann Coulter’s book. Well, that makes sense, since we discuss them, though not in favorable terms.

But on Bikeforums, I keep seeing ads for guns and gun related items. I have yet to see anyone on those forums mention guns. Sure, it’s mostly, but not exclusively guys, but still - guns? And why not on the watch forums?

Some kinda funky algorithms.

No snark—I think the ads are smart enough to follow you. My gender-flipped login gets me ads for lonely but liberal young men.
