The Irony of the site sometimes

I'll be sitting here entering my foods and then I'll look up at the banner and see a Domino's Pizza ad and I'm thinking to myself... really?! That's kinda messed up and certainly ironic.

    Those ads are controlled by Google, not MFP.

    The ads that pop up are determined by what cookies are on your computer. Mine currently is Lifetime Fitness, but yesterday when my daughter was on the Chuck E. Cheese website I had CEC ads the entire day.

    I'm not the only one that uses this computer. However, if I remember correctly MFP does have some sort of degree of control of the ads that get on their site. I used to run a site and I could put in parameters for things that I didn't want showing on my site. (as I rana gaming website I didn't want gold farmers and that sort of thing on there) I'm more than tech savvy I know how these ads work.

    Interesting!

    I get a lot of family vacation sites like Williamsburg VA, or Carnival Cruises. But, I also often get one (I don't recall the product they are pushing) with a woman in either a bathing suit or a bra and panties and she appears to be in the beginning stages of pulling down her bottoms.

    I wonder what kind of cookies I am hanging onto?!?!?

    Mine are always cars because I was recently shopping for cars. Now, it is for ModCloth. I hate ModCloth because the dresses they show in their ads are always sold out.....curses.

    Go surf some fitness and fitness equipment sites, you won't have so many food temptations.

    Mine was for KY when I first loaded this. That can be embarrassing at work. (I was reading a thread about BC shortly before loading this one....That's the only reason I can figure for it.)
