Facebook adverts
I’m stuck on Internet Exploder 6 at work (no, I don’t know why). Which means that, unlike at home where I have adblock plus installed on FireFox, and thus avoid seeing Facebook’s adverts, I can’t avoid them at work.
Still, it does have some comedy potential, like today, when I logged in to be confronted by one advert saying “32 and still single? Join our dating club, ‘whatthehell’swrongwithyouyoufreak.com’” just above another advert offering tips about getting pregnant.
As for the first advert, I know exactly what’s wrong with me. Too independent for the religious blokes, too religious for the blokes who don’t mind if you know your way round a tool box.
The least said about the second advert, the better, I think.
[Edit: And now I'm being offered plastic surgery adverts. I'm clearly doomed to die alone and be eaten by cats].

There are a few religious blokes who don’t mind independence…

While we promised cake in the next post, this is as good if not better. What a wondrously strange place the Internet is.

If you need help with the second, there’s probably no hope for you anyway
I have yet to get the “You’re a sad bas**rd and must be getting desperate” dating one yet, nor the “Are you feeling insecure about being a slaphead” one either.
I fear it’s only a matter of time before the -really- insulting ones start appearing…

One word: Ad-Block.
On further reflection, I’m not sure that’s not two words. One-and-a-half, at least.

Can’t install Adblock at work. I do have it at home, however.
