These two ads have appeared recently in the left-hand ad section on my facebook profile.

facebook balding adfacebook gay counseling ad

The thing is, I don’t know I’ve ever indicated anything about my sexual preference (other than my spouse’s name is Cara… typically a woman’s name!) or my lack of hair. So isn’t it a tad bold of facebook to assume both of these things? I assume these ads are triggered by some algorithm… or do they really display gay counseling ads to everyone in Denver (certainly a possibility). But assuming there is something in my profile that triggered these ads, why does fb think I’m gay and know that I’m balding?

These are the big questions in life. Ponder them well.
