New Ads That Watch You
Pandanapper writes to tell us Yahoo is reporting that if you find yourself watching an ad on a video screen in a public venue, the ad may be watching you as well. "Small cameras can now be embedded in the screen or hidden around it, tracking who looks at the screen and for how long. The makers of the tracking systems say the software can determine the viewer's gender, approximate age range and, in some cases, ethnicity -- and can change the ads accordingly. That could mean razor ads for men, cosmetics ads for women and video-game ads for teens."
My dear marketing chums, what ads will people with their middle fingers extended at the camera be forced to enjoy?

Oh, never mind!
that change when they stop to look at them.
They stopped to look at one ad, like for McDonald's new McTriple sandwich.
Then the ad changes for Weight Watches because some fat guy stopped to look at it. Then he gets upset and then the ad changes to one for Anger Management. Then he flips it off and gets a WWE Ad for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's DVD. Then he laughs at it, and it shows a picture of him and some guy appears on the screen and tells him he's been Punked, please watch the "Punked" show on MTV.
Remember, Slashdot does not have a -1 disagree moderation, and no, troll, flamebait, and overrated are not substitutes.
Come to think of it ads for tampons and breast enhancement are a better insult.
