I like to imagine the life of the person ads think I am. I get ads in Spanish, I get medication ads for illnesses I do not have, and sometimes literally cannot have,I get ads for high end lab equipment. By far my favorite was an ad for deep sea oil rig sand traps, why would that ad even be made, and why send it to a 50 year old man in a landlocked state who is watching minecraft lets plays and pink pony club covers.

"Deep sea oil rig sand trap" sounds like an underground rock band song title.

Yeah the ad made me research it,apparently the oil has a bunch of solids/sand in it that is caught by the trap before further processing. So I did learn a thing, but I'm not buying an oil rig.
