The Nordstrom adds they're posting here advertising boots? The girl wearing them is SO SCRAWNY that her knee joints protrude out past her thighs. You can totally tell the boots are WAY too big for her nonexistent calves. They're rattling around in there like the last matchstick in the box.

Poor choice of boot model. Especially for a weight loss site.


...Why yes. I do have Bit--er, PMS today. Why do you ask?

    I can't see any ads.

    The ads are generated based on your web searches. This annoys me because I see ads for Dominos Pizza when both my boyfriend and step-son (living with us) are both employed by Dominos.

    I haven't seen it. Ads are different for everyone. They're generated based on what you search for and what sites you visit.

    Weird. I have never shopped online. I guess they just picked up on me being female, so the ads I get are all fashion and weight loss stuff. I tend to look up running facts, funny animal videos, and World of Warcraft facts--the latter doesn't seem to advertise here. Heh.

    The ad thing really creeps me out. I was doing searches for avocado recipes earlier today, and now I'm getting ads for Hass avocados. It's just a little too "Big Brother" for me. This is why I regularly delete cookies, temporary internet files, and my browsing history.

    But I know what you mean about these stores and their models. I'm seeing a disturbing trend of models wearing clothes that just do not fit them at all. I guess this is how they're cutting costs.

    The add is back on my sidebar as I type this, btw. Mocking me.
