You know what pisses me off about the future? We have all of this "big data", "Customer Relationship Management" and "Targeted Advertising". Privacy advocates are all up in arms over how much information about us vendors are gathering, and somehow the web is showing me ads for Home Depot, or Comcast, but in Spanish.
And I have to have friends send me links to ads like this: an ad for "Naked" brand Australian condoms.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
