I wish I had a screenshot of this, but I don't. Sorry.

Earlier today I was perusing internet pornography, and whatever site I ended up on had those annoying fake instant messages from "attractive women" who just happen to be from the same zip code as you and would like to have cybersex, real sex, a cam show, or some other bullshit. One of these pops up on every page, and for the most part it's the usual rigmarole, until suddenly one says:

"Do you think the Greek economy is going to collapse and kill the world economy?"

It blew me the fuck away. I guess somewhere out there, someone is really turned on by talking about the Euro crisis, and spam has been invented to target those people.

I guess, but none of the other shit in those pop-ups had anything to do with anything I've ever looked up.

They also read your ip address and figure out where you live in order to target ads to your zip code.

They read the corneal prints of your eye balls and project images on the walls of products that you've previously bought or might be interested in by association.

Not to mention your cum-drenched fingerprints off your keyboard.

Well I knew the bit about the IP address to figure out where I lived, I didn't think they pulled "Bumfuck, NC" out of a hat.
