| Two fat ducks on a stick |
I buy quite a few bits and pieces from Amazon because it
is easier – and usually cheaper – than buying locally.
The problem with this is that as soon as I search for
something on Amazon I am forever bombarded with advertisements for the products
– or similar products – even if I buy the damned thing.
This little blighter – for example – has been following me
for days.
A weeks or so ago I was looking for some Apple widgets on Amazon and
looked at this. Since then it has not given me a moment’s peace and goes with
me everywhere.
I mean – if I buy some printer cartridges – which I did - what
is the point of sending me emails about the very same printer cartridges – or
putting advertisements on every web page I look at for the next six months
about things I just bought.
Perhaps they think I have a printer cartridge fetish.
Having just bought some I will suddenly decide I can’t live without being knee
deep in them.
At least my
stalkers at the moment are a change from the hamburger that haunted me for
about a year – and no I never did buy one.
Sometimes I feel pretty pretty much ignored in Cyber World. Must be that "they" simply don't deem me worthy of even trying to sell me on something. I remember that Hamburger, though, and fondly: after you mentioned it here, suddenly it started lurking around my place, too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteP.S.: Those mallards on a stick are a great pair! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the ducks.
ReplyDeleteIf they were bright they would add a time delay for a typical period of slightly less than the amount of time it takes to consume a product, where the timing would vary on a product by product basis. Oh, my, did I just invent something eVil?!?!? I rarely forget where I buy things. That is wHy it infuriates me when my groc store suddenly and massively rearranges their store. Except chocolate syrup, which happens to be available on either 3 or 4 aisles, same eXact product.
ReplyDeleteI found an interesting teleBision show on Netflix caLLed Breaking Bad. Very captivating.
Merisi: How do you cover your tracks? The tufted duck has gone home for Christmas.
ReplyDeletefmcgmccllc: Aren't they a fine pair!
esb: We have just bought the DVDs for Braking Bad - my son recommended it so it must be good.
