Today, I realized that every targeted advertisement on my Facebook involves gym memberships and diet pills. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized that every other targeted ad I see is for some sort of dating app. I've been single on and off for 5 years now, and it's starting to get to me. FML
Today, I discovered I am the "before picture" in an internet weight loss advert. FML
Today, I was looking online at the gym memberships in my neighborhood, because I'm getting old and unfit. As I was looking at the prices, thanks to some well-placed advertisement magic, I found myself ordering a pizza, then binge-watching Netflix. It seems that motivation is just a click away, but pizza is my kryptonite. FML
Today, I discovered that a company has been using a photo of me for one of those "she lost 50 pounds" online ads. I'm the "before" photo. FML
Today, I registered on an irritable bowel support group, unknowingly linking it to my Facebook wall. FML
Today, my girlfriend tried to look at my phone and I turned it away from her. Now she’s convinced I’m cheating on her. In reality, I’m too embarrassed to admit it’s because Facebook is showing me nonstop ads for laxatives after I ordered some two days ago. FML
Today, my dad asked my help with a computer problem. Whenever he logged on Facebook, every single advertisement appeared to be hardcore porn. I had to awkwardly explain that these ads are based on his browsing habits. FML
Today, during the trailers at the movies, my boyfriend elbowed me in the ribs and smiled when an ad for a weight loss institute was shown. FML
Today, I found out that the daily "vitamins" that my dad has been giving me for the last three months were actually weight loss pills. FML
Today, I saw a weight loss 'before and after' advertisement and I wished I could at least look like the 'before'. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I know it's not true, but I always imagine an office full of evil Facebook employees picking the most offensive advertisments possible for every user.

That just means that's the content you look at most.

They're called cookies. Stop searching for gyms and diet pills, clear them out.

My ads sometimes are for dating websites - yet my profile shows I'm married. Don't take it too personally. Sometimes it's an age group thing, or based on other generic data.

It may mean you're either a gym rat (which is awesome) or it's a wake up call.
