my stalker

Facebook’s targeted ads spook me, seriously making me feel like I’m being followed. Well, technically, I guess I am being followed. Eighty percent of the time, they’re pretty right-on. (I particularly resent the plethora of ads for “40 year olds” that started coming my way one week after I turned 40 this year.)

One I received today:

It troubles me that an ad like this exists. There really is a market for everything, eh? It especially concerns me that I am considered the target audience.

And they are 100% correct.

I heart bacon, as you - and Facebook - know. So it comes as no surprise that I clicked on this ad. (I typically do NOT click on them.) Upon doing so, I was taken to this diddit.com page.

I never heard of diddit.com before, but the fact that someone there dreamt up a Bacon & Wine Tasting (from the list The Bacon Challenge, nonetheless)? I am most certainly compelled to explore further .

I SO don’t want to encourage my stalker. But throwing bacon my way? Like offering candy to a little kid.

UPDATE: a quick poking around at The Bacon Challenge list took me to this: Bacon Cheese Sticks.

Oh. My. Lard.

I wonder what red wine Ed H. would suggest cuz one will definitely need those flavonoid and resveratrol benefits after eating these delights.
