I keep getting ads geared toward women. It creeps me out that ads are tailor-fit to the user. Is this the case here? So often I regret having provided gender/age/demographic data to yahoo, facebook, etc. Creepy.

Mine is showing me auto-insurance when I can't seem to afford myself a donkey much less a car.

It's just that Yahoo has 'tracked' your usage (using cookies) according to what sections you've frequented on Y!A ... don't be paranoid!

The ad on the side of MY page is the Pedigree 'Doggie Dentures' ad ... because I answer a lot in 'Dogs'. I think the ad is hilarious (and so is the commercial).

Guys probably get Viagra and Rogaine ads ... sometimes it's a GOOD thing to be a girl!

Mine reads:

CookChildren's
Make sure your child has healthy teeth and gums.
Visit the dentist by age 1.

Mistargeted since I don't have any kids...
