Your move, Google.

I've been aware of the growing surveillance in the world for a while.  It hasn't really bothered me, despite having social anxiety disorder.  If anything, it's just bringing the world into the same perspective I've always lived in, the feeling that someone's always watching.  If anything, I've always promised myself that if we ever did reach a point where I felt that my privacy was being infringed upon, I'd "give them a show".

 

Well, today, that happened.  See, I have the Google Rewards app on my tablet.  It's paid for a couple of mobile versions of old favorite MMORPGs.  Four minutes after I searched for something online, using google.com, a survey popped up on Google Rewards... and one of the options in the first page of the survey was what I'd just looked up.

 

The second panel wanted to know what I was interested in, in regard to the search I'd just conducted.  So I answered, "Porn".

 

The fourth panel asked what results Google could display that would interest me.  I typed in, "Porn!".

 

Somewhere, someone's reading that survey.

 

I'm having a wonderful day.  How about the rest of you?  Who's up for some porn?  Google?  Porn?  Porn!

Ah, but did you -specify- your porn of choice?
See, I've been going down this particular path for years, but google still can't get it quite right.  I block all ads, but my spouse wasn't for the longest time, so she was ending up with a weird mix of targeted ads for both herself and I.  There was a two week period where the ads were all really awkward celebrity and amateur photos of a "spicy" persuasion . . . without any text or anything to denote what they were actually advertising.

We never worked up the courage to actually click them, but it was funny to watch google struggle so desperately to figure out what we actually liked before we finally pulled the plug and installed an ad blocker on her computer too.
