Sometimes I get these odd Facebook ads and the front picture is of a really unattractive person and then when you click on the page there’s just a few strange looking posts and products that look really fake. Has anyone noticed these ads? What is up with them?
I just saw one and the guy looked like a Nordic alien and I’m currently trying not to **** my pants from being so freaked out. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

I don't know, I'm not an FB user anymore.
but I am sorry they are scaring you!. ads are never that fun (I really hate the ones where they say your computer is slow and needs an upgrade, or the ones that say you will win in 20 seconds) 1 word: virus well, I never know that for sure, but I get the hell out of their soon as I can, just in case. all ready lost 2 computers (one down to downloading and one down to a virus) so |

Yeah I noticed one today, it looked like a selfie of some random person and I was wondering why it was in my newsfeed because they weren't on my friends list then I realized it was an ad.

I am finding life, in general, has gotten a lot more weird and disturbing, lately.
Don't even get me started on facebook! |

^^^ pluss one on this.
I only log in to Facebook every so often, and yes the ads on there are just plain odd. Sometime I even get paranoid by them and what the people putting them on facebook are up too. Not just FB but even ads on mainstream newspapers and websites are getting plain silly. Often using celebrities pictures to plug stuff that's clearly fake. What can we do?... No idea myself. I try to limit the time I spend online these days. __________________ A daily dose of positive in a world going cuckoo Humour helps...
