Targeted Advertising
I was looking at the online obituaries for my town. I recognized a last name, so I clicked on this fella's obit. I didn't know him, but he was only 59.
There were two mini ads right under the announcement: How to look 30 when you're 50 AND...(drum roll, please) One weird trick to stay asleep all night. Seriously. You know the cheapo ads: SOME LADY in YOUR TOWN is making 5 BILLION AN HOUR online. Or: DOCTORS ARE PISSED AT "some mom in your town" WHO DISCOVERED HOW TO TAKE 500 YEARS OFF YOUR APPEARANCE. Or: OBAMA WANTS YOU TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND WILL PAY THOUSANDS TO SEE YOU DO IT. But OMG. Target much? If I were a family member that might take me aback, I guess if I even noticed. |
