Another way to know if you are a clown...

The direct ads you get on websites, are clown related, even if they are not clown sites.

This has been happening to me. I get juggling ball ads on Facebook.

Does this sort of thing happen to anyone else or am I just that cool?

I can't say that I look at the ads on websites. OK, I sometimes do, but not that often. I can't say that I have noticed any clown ads on non-clown websites. Maybe I will pay a little closer attention.

Snugglesnort; facebook introduced their ad service 'beacon' earlier this year, which tracks you across the web and shows you ads that may interest you. It caused a privacy uproar since there was no way to opt-out. I believe they allow opting out now, but I haven't kept up on the latest developments.

I am not complaining. It is actually kind of nice that there are ads that I just might look at.

I just think it is hilarious that they are clowning related! I visit here and Pat Cashin's blog every day, and I don't know how many clown related searches I have made!

I just thought I would share, and wondered if anyone else has this happen.
