Okay, in my rational mind, the one over-educated in the school of 1-3rd wave feminisms, pop culture, and marketing, I know that Facebook doesn't really know how much I weigh, and how much weight I gained since moving to Cambridge, where I subsist off pub food and carb-y beer. But it's really, really, really hard not to believe that their ad-targeting is configured by spying on me as I lay on my back trying to zip up my old size 6 okay size 7 jeans.
I mean, everyone whose FB profile says "female" gets these ads, right? It's not just me, right?

Sure, fatso, mine just just shows me ads for hot singles over 30 in my area. If I changed my status to "In a relationship" I'm sure it'd be targeting me with erection pills or mausoleums.
oh jonny, you're a pearl.
