I used my work laptop over the weekend, and while I was surfing on the couch, I decided to look and see what Victoria Secret's jean selection looked like. And now, all my banner ads are VS. I went on zappos.com yesterday and shopped for some shoes - thinking that would trump the VS ad. What can I possibly google today so I can get rid of the parade of women in underpants and bras across my screen?

Anything from Overstock invariably shows up in my browser for weeks... you might try that.

Ah - there is my overstock banner ad.
Also, 3 months ago I interviewed for a job with a consumer goods company, and I googled them a couple times to research them and their products. And their banner ads are back. It is kind of sad to get a banner ad that basically says to me "These people didn't think you were good enough for them." But, hey, better than a bunch of whores in bras. I'd rather be reminded that I didn't get a job than reminded that my boobs are yet another inch lower than they were when I was 25.

Zulily and One King's Road seem to be in my banners these days. Zulily most, since I just bought a air of shoes from there....

At least you have boobs that can fall. My barely As haven't moved since I was 15.  |

My family is not well endowed - and we still are sagging. I just don't think it is fair to get beat with both sides of the stick.

Look at Grainger. All I see are ads for industrial parts.

You won't let me look at your site without joining so piss off already. I ran a cleaning program earlier today so right now I have no ads. I wonder how long I'll hold out before looking at something and restart the avalanche. |

Cars are a good one. We've been considering a new car, so that's what I've been googling and I've gotten a ton of car ads. Also, one time I googled SkyMall, and their ads started showing up instantly.

I have ordered a couple things from there though.... |

There was discussion here a few weeks ago about using work computers for personal use. I was against it, others thought it was no big deal.....guess it is a big deal this time.
You should NOT have used it for personal reasons.....you are now seeing one of the reasons why.

I have been checking out the back to school sales so I have Staples ads all over my screen. I absolutely LOVE back to school sale shopping though so it doesn't actually bother me.  |

Is it possible that Google has mind reading capability now? I am suddenly getting ads for WDW across my banner and I only thought about going there I didn't even look anything up on line yet.  |

I think sometimes it scans/borrows content from this site - every now and then there will be a thread about Zappos or something and the next thing I know all I see are Zappos ads.
