    I think a lot of the banner ads are triggered to be personalized to each one of us, and the types of things we search for. Your computer sends out bits and pieces of what we do online....kinda creepy if you ask me. I always have ads for Jillian Michaels and Overstock.com!

    I'm more annoyed with the stupid Taco Bell 12 Taco Box commercial that shows every other freaking minute.



    I so want Taco Bell tacos..

    it also has to do with the threads we read (or whatever websites)....spiders go around and pick out key words and the ads will pop up with them. So now that I've read this thread I'll probably will be seeing pizza ads soon ;)

    The one that I'm always wondering about is the one that says foods you shouldn't eat and then always has a banana. Has anyone ever found out? I love bananas so I don't want to know if my bananas are on the list! I did read today or yesterday a post about only eating a banana once a week. :( I eat about one a day until I run out. Sometimes two.

    Yeah, I get Jillian or the banana on top. That is creepy! They know I eat bananas and do Jillian workouts! hahaha

    Do you eat bananas? If so, they are stalking you too! :)

    No bananas??????? :) I love them just after they turn yellow. No spots or brown anything. I get excited when I see florescent green bananas at the store. I know that in a day or two they will be perfect! hahaha Ahhhh, your kids can come over and have some of mine! hahaha

    I get the Las Vegas Buffet of Buffets that shows a big pictures of ribs. I also get some sort of vision ads for like lasic or contacts. I'm a vegetarian and I have 20-20 so I'm totally confused by the ads.

    Better than the one I have currently which suggests I can lose up to 20 lbs. every month. Yeah, that's healthy! :huh:

    All of the ads that everyone sees on there own individual computers are based on what you as an indivdual look up on your own computer. We do not all see the same thing. What ever you are seeing is because you looked at it and it is in your computer's memory.

    I live in Japan and all my ads are in Kanji (Japanese Alphabet). If you don't like the junk food ads, don't look at junk food on your computer.

    I always have the banana...never any other food ads. Sometimes Biggest Loser or JM ads. Interesting!

    Great way to get rid of those pesky ads on sites: Adblock.

    I'm in the UK and I've got the Kellogg's Fiber Plus ad. "Love the taste that loves youback!" Oh bless 'em.

    Bananas - if I'm honest with myself, they make me gag. I only eat them because they are high in potassium, but will only force myself to eat 2 a week!

    The banana ad is just another weight loss programme. It's got nothing to do with bananas at all. It will talk you through a video of how you cant loose weight and when you think you're going to find out a miricle cure for obesity it tells you you need to subscribe. Rip off. :grumble:

    Oh good! I figured it was something like you know why you aren't losing weight? It's all those bananas you eat! ha

    Man this bothers me! Cameras everywhere, they are tracking me by my phone, they want to tax me based on the miles I drive as eveidenced by GPS tracking, and now MFP is invaded by people wanting to sell me based on my browsing. Sometimes I want to move to a third world country - but one where I can have central heat and air, flat screen tv, ipad - oops, there we go again!

    They're doing a crap job of tracking me, then. :laugh: I order pizza all the time, and I've never had an ad for pizza or any other junk food, but I do constantly get an ad for some incredibly expensive car (despite having no drivers license :bigsmile: ) even though I access my university's undergrad website a gazillion times a day - I can see where they'd get the idea that I can afford that sort of car from that. :laugh:

    I was teasing about the stalking though. I've never looked up bananas I guess. That's what's up there most of the time. Unless it's because I type banana in my menu, but I would think it would have to be in the search bar. Now they want me to see if Lap Band Surgery is for me. I don't weigh too much so I guess I better pass. I'm kind of tired of seeing the banana though. I bought some at the store today though! Yum!
    We had to get a different computer so I suppose it doesn't have much to go on. :)
