The Facebook Ads Teens Aren't Supposed To See
schwit1 writes in with this story about Facbook's questionable ads including webcam modeling and diet drugs. "Sophie Bean, 14, of Sequim, Wash., said she was thought she was 'liking' a Facebook ad related to fashion modeling. Instead, it promoted a Facebook page that recruited adult webcam models. 'I just thought it was for modeling, and I'm interested in that, and I thought it would help me out,' Sophie said. Sophie wasn't the only teen connecting with the page, which Facebook statistics show is most popular with users 13 to 17. Clicking on it didn't pull the teens into nude webcam modeling, but did mean they would receive the page's updates and could be mentioned in future versions of the ad."
Stupid American brat clicks on Facebook ad she doesn't like.
Er, no, she did "like" it, that's the point. However, I don't know if she, like, "like" liked it or not.
Wait... there are still people under the age of 35 on facebook?
There's nothing wrong with "erotica"
Waldorf: "There's nothing like a good erotic webcam show."
Statler: "And that was nothing like a good erotic webcam show!"
This is awful! I'm shocked! SHOCKED, I tell you! I'm going to write to my congressman and tell him... Tell him... Um...
Wait, what exactly am I supposed to be outraged about here?

I give up on debugging. From now on, SIGSEGV is a feature.
Not just the Internet. But that guy with the fedora, mink coat and lots of bling.
On one hand he's using Fedora. A Linux user can't be that bad. But on the other hand he's using Bing, there's just no excuse for that.
Any insufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.
