Is it just me or does the juxtaposition of these two Facebook ads strike you as just a wee bit mismatched?
I’ve often been a bit irked at the incessant flashing of almost exclusively gay singles ads whenever I visit Facebook.
Like I need a daily reminder that I’m perpetually single. And I certainly don’t think many gay singles are trolling around with solid Christian values as their chief dating criteria. But what do I know, I’m just a jaded gaytheist.
Anyone know of a way to block particular ads on Facebook?

It’s amazing to me that Mitt Romney brings up France as a scary comparison point to himself so often when he spent years there and speaks the language. It’s such a minor point, but telling. Of all the people running for president, Mitt Romney has to be the most aware that the rightwing caricature of ... (0 comments)Mother Teresa Doesn't Deserve Sainthood

I use the built in ad blocker in Opera, I know theres something like that for firefox aswell. unless you happen to like them then cool :P
Geez man, do you not have http://adblockplus.org installed?
i do not but i will soon! thanks!
You can use greasemonkey with firefox, and check out scripts at http://userscripts.org/ . There are some that are Facebook specific, I forgot Facebook even has ads. I use one called "Remove All Facebook Ads", which is here http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/42497 .
Ha! I actually took a screenshot of your Palin rant yesterday, because Google ads had plastered a Palin PAC ad in my RSS feed. I'll try to get it posted so you can see… today has been a very scary computer day, but maybe tomorrow, if I can figure out where I put the capture. But this post has a bunch of gay personals Google Ad-ded at the Bottom. I see this regularly, but your blog seems especially susceptible to innappropriate ads.
so weird what decides to pop up. their context sniffers must not be very sophisticated.
thanks for all the great tips. i'm gonna do some testing tomorrow
