I understand why MyFitnessPal has ads or sponsored links and I don't mind at all. Same with Facebook and other free sites.

But those data aggregators (companies that build a profile of you based on your browsing history) seem to get it wrong sometimes.

Today I'm getting this ad asking if my kids have head lice. 1. I'm pretty sure I have no head lice. 2. I'm also pretty sure I have no kids.
:P

What's some of your weird ones?

    <---- Hello.

    Seriously, I've gotten ads for male enhancement products and dating ads from Zoosk.
    I got this one advertisement that had my friend's picture from 10 years ago embedded into the banner. I took a screen capture and sent it to her. We think they lifted the picture of of Friendster.
