Yes Facebook, that's Exactly what I want....

I keep getting these annoying ads from time to time. You would think that facebook would know my 'Relationship Status' ("Engaged", for those of you who haven't Added me) since I set it.

The only way that Facebook would have a good reason to serve these ads is if they somehow profited from infidelity. I'll leave that to your imaginations.

C'mon facebook, I like Celtic music and I'm getting married: serve me that ad for Merimac.

the ads are not as smart as ad sense,they are bought for a geographic area,ie show this ad 10,000 times to people in halifax, or people from dal

The thing about advertisers is that just by being able to be a bit more specific in the targeting, you can charge a lot more. Facebook needs to do more data mining :D
