Muffin tops comes from England, don’t know where you are but it’s been a stapple here for a while, at least in the North anyhow. Yup facebook has ads and similar to this the men have the misleading adverts all about getting a uber muscly body in like five seconds, which as always is rubbish. They should properly vet ads, rather than allowing ads to make you subliminaly concious of your body. I just try to give them as many ‘misleading’s as I can be bothered with.

That word muffin top, it is so disgusting how they are making this word become known. My room mate started calling me this just because she knew it got under my skin. Luckily she has stopped but. But how this word is used gives me the creeps. Why would any one degrade beautiful bodies in such a condescending way.

Falsify your information. That’s all I have to say about it. I don’t know why *everyone* doesn’t falsify as much information as possible, anyway.
Erase your cookies. Don’t put your correct age, dating status, restaurant preferences…what, are ya nuts? *hahaha!*
Privacy!!

And while I’m on it, jkeys17, the correct expression for your sentiment is “I couldn’t care less”, not “I can careless”
Remember: you can’t care any less than you do about xyz.
I couldn’t care less.

If you could care less, why don’t you?

When I noticed the “thumbs up/thumbs down” icons under the ads (which I normally ignore, but they *are* placed rather strategically), I started clicking on the thumbs down button. I used to select “other” and write in a comment, but I finally just selected “offensive” instead.

I no longer get weight loss ads.

Surprisingly, I’m actually getting ads that really do interest me, and I’ve made a point of giving them the “thumbs up.”

I use Firefox with the Adblock Plus plugin installed. I don’t see overt image-based ads. Anymore. Anywhere.

Yeah i keep getting these ads for the pink patch or something like that.
But what’s really weird is I keep getting all these christian ads even though i am it’s like still how the heck did they know.
And finally i think it’s because I am listed a single I saw an ad saying ” Wish you weren’t lonely?” I removed my relationship status and they haven’t popped up since.
Major spying I think.
By the way I am loving this blog and post: great work! A*
