This was a month or so ago, but one day I logged onto Facebook and was struck by the realization that Facebook knows everything there is to know about me. You see, on the online global systemnatical infostructural delivery conduit system web 2.0 market of today, marketers find themselves in a unique and profitable situation as they are able to create ad content that targets people based on users’ specific interests.

Knowing this, I try not to give too much away about myself on “the profile page”. For example, instead of a legitimate attempt to sum up my religious or philosophical world view in a sentence I cleverly inserted a link to a youtube clip of Tina Fey’s appearance on Sesame Street Har Har!

Well, it seem to have failed outright. How do I know? Somehow Facebook knows exactly how I like my women and told American Apparel alllll about it:

Damn you Facebook! I zig and you zag! Well you win this one. My, lets say ‘excitement’, forced my hand on this one and I haven’t stopped…’clicking’…since this banner graced my home page. Is that a sexy chest zit I see? Are those hairy legs….wait a minute, I don’t think this is a girl after all…oh shit, this is a man…yep, this is a guy.

So, AA, you’re saying I could look like this guy, with my long hair and all, for the price of his clothes?

hmm….

Checkmate, Facebook, checkmate.
