I'm a guy whose breakfast typically consists of four cups of tea, so maybe I'm not the one to comment on this kind of thing, but I've recently been made a little dubious about the LJ ads consisting of weight loss pictures and an insistance that I lose 25 pounds (regardless of the typicality of those results). They're demonstrated by a pretty and healthy looking woman losing a credible amount of weight, flipping the image to one where the clothing kind of hangs off her.
You know, if she's happy with her new weight, that's all that counts. From an advertisement perspective, they might consider getting her some clothing that doesn't make her new weight look considerably less attractive then her old one. It looks like she's on the ATHF tapeworm diet more then anything else, though possibly I'm wrong. That's just what occurs to me.
Livejournal will advertise some stuff I find amusing from time to time, but the ad results from my xanga and Facebook are even funnier. I remember for about 3 months, the only ads you'd find on my xanga were typically ones for sleeping pills until I ranted about something else. Whichever was the target of my invective would inevitably be advertised on my xanga only moments later. It was always amusing to see four advertisements for Hummers on my page, including one spectacularly priced Hummer-limo at the height of the gas prices.
Incidentally, I cannot even begin to understand why some things are advertised on my Facebook. I am not looking for hook up sites or dates, and I've never posted anything to indicate that I am. I am primarily interested in finding good local places to eat, drinking a lot of coffee, and roleplaying. The last, especially, would seem like a terrific place for name-based advertising misunderstanding, as one might expect to see a dozen ads asking if you like to dress up as a policeman when you spank your significant other. But no, not even an ad for D&D 4.
The world is full of dissapointments, ladies and gentlemen.
