For the last 3 weeks when I come on site the personalized advertising included an offer of British Army surplus kevlar lined blast underwear! Followed me around like the plague. Advertised as slighly used! Today they are gone. Oh happy day.

Have you been followed around by strange ads???

Montana isolation can cause issues according to its Chamber of Commerce. Any other things follow you around? :):rolleyes:

I am happy for you that the camo skivvies are no longer after you. But it raises two very worrying points. First, how did you get yourself to the point that an ad such as that would show up on your doorstep? And second, does the fact that they are gone mean someone bought them? What a world! And btw, we need some bigs! ;)

I can definitely relate. I had a skin cancer scare on my left ear about 18 months ago. Had surgery, and everything fine at this point. I am Irish, and my extended family and I have put the children of many dermatologists through college over the years.

But, should be wearing a sun hat when I am out at the beach or on the golf course, instead of one of my many UConn baseball caps.

So, I went looking for one on Google recently, and apparently I am condemned to seeing this guy for the foreseeable future whenever I log in..........

Hey dude, what`s with the hat?

Rocky

Once, just once I opened the d'atagnan website as a result of a recipe idea.

Big mistake.

I was bombarded by ads, virtually every page I opened.

I wrote to them, more than once, asking them to cease and desist...nothing.
I threatened them with negative posts...and started writing them...nothing.

Finally, after a month, the ads started to peter out.
I worry by just mentioning their name, they will start again.

Apparently selling military surplus is big business and some folks are really into collecting it. The purveyor of this particular garment is a very large on-line and catalog sports retailer I occasionally buy some ammo from. A couple of months ago I was sent a militry surplus catalog and on the cover overpage was the opportunity to buy a complete Swiss army field hospital!! talk about superfluous huh).

1) your search history is probably the biggest component for your ads.
2) Anyone else amused by mentioning ads they hated/ want to get away from. That's priming the well my friends.

Oh, happy day? Come on, Rocky. Don't do that to me. I thought UConn had signed Siddique Finch.

I wonder if they are bi directional. Protecting the wearer from external explosions and protecting the public from wearer generated ones.

Do I recognize some kind of prejudice or bias towards USED underwear? Or is this an Anti-Military Bias?? Kevlar gives you added protection where most want it most..
