What terrible things is facebook advertising you today?

[existentialist]

Slacks, Pink Floyd T-shirts, apparently-amazing shoes, and a plethora of gadgets which I know would be soul-destroyingly disappointing were I idiot enough to buy them.

My sole unwise Social Media advertised piece of shit purchase currently resides in its box on top of a bookcase. I got all my money back, thanks to PayPal. The band musical director has the same piece of shit on a shelf in his room, and judging by his evident reluctance to talk about it, I suspect he paid full whack

So if anyone's interested in a tacky, magnetically-suspended tiny plastic Earth, you know who to call.

Got my first miracle slimming pill ads today.
Both were backed by Dragons Den, which was a little surprising.

I had to bite my lip the other day when I got that shared by my niece with its ridiculous claim of losing 7 pounds a week - the previous time it happened, someone's account had been hacked.
Those hideous adverts are a varying mishmash of bits from all over...

Two in one.
FB algorithm is insane.
Is that even food ?

 

[gentlegreen]

WTAF ??
I don't even know what they're actually selling ...

Make your own chlorine at home.

How do they get away with advertising this on FB ?
I suppose images make the fake description un-readable...

Showerheads.
A summer dress that fits so perfect if you pull these strings and they love the leg split :wow:
A leather dufflebag that inspector gadget would love.

More weird, but a broken lambo?

Just buy some poppers when you buy it and you'll be fine.

Tbf the combination of fentanol and benzos they gave me at the hospital wasn't terrible.

It is a very odd thing to advertise to consumers though - it's a bit of a niche product all things considered.

Glenn Fucking Danzig.

This has been going on for months now.

'Here's Glenn picking his nose next to Henry Rollins.'

'Glenn was a massive fan of Kajagoogoo. "I bleddy love 'em", he said in June 1982.'

Watches. 'Kin expensive ones too...

.. which has made me more determined to stick with the one I have despite the big scratch down the face that it has.

Interesting selection of 'sporting goods'

Just lately I've been getting a lot of right wing fantasist crap. It's my fault, I kept calling them out so, I think, I've got caught up in the algorithm.

That's what comes of feeding the trolls.

At first I thought the ad was for breakfast in a can, should have realised from the dog waitress that it was dog food

I’ve just had the most amazing ad pop up on YouTube. I was trying to think of an old 70s comedian’s name, and on finding him (it was Max Miller), the ad it played (after letting me see a minute or two of jokes about being a man of a certain age) was the funniest erectile dysfunction ad I’ve ever seen.

Because it’s on my phone I can’t copy it in here, but maybe if you also Google him it will work.

The bit that made me laugh hardest was the teenage “scientist”.
