Seventy-four percent of Facebook users are unaware that Facebook records a list of their interests for ad-targeting purposes, according to a new study from the Pew Institute. From a report: Participants in the study were first pointed to Facebook's ad preferences page, which lists out a person's interests. Nearly 60 percent of participants admitted that Facebook's lists of interests were very or somewhat accurate to their actual interests, and 51 percent said they were uncomfortable with Facebook creating the list.

Go watch the Gillette ad :((

I guess this new movement, won't be happy till we're all soy boys, and let's all forget about the aggressive behaviors that got us to this point in the world we're at to date.

Nope.....I guess its just time to be open about it and have them mandate estrogen injections to all men, and let's just get rid of us as a species for the most part.

But women that are for this, be careful...there's already lots of women out there that can't find a man to marry that they want to stay with, as that they aren't acting like "men" anymore.

As for that ad..they couldn't pay me to use a fucking gillette product again.
