Yes, Facebook, I am getting married. I presume you know this because my fiancée and I are listed as engaged to each other in our profiles. It's even possible you know the wedding is soon because she registered us on TheKnot.com, a Beacon partner. And even though she opted not to have you spam our friends about it, it's conceivable that you're still keeping track of her activity on the site, despite promising to discard the data. That's fine. Eventually we were going to tell you about the wedding anyway. But, Facebook, you might want to know: I'm not an American Express cardholder. And also: I'm not going to buy that dress. Oh, and one more thing?
How hard could it have been for American Express, your partner in advertising bliss, to check off "female" on this order form? Answer: Not very. Next time, try a coupon for discount tux rentals at Men's Wearhouse.

Maybe they're just being big-minded by not assuming that you wouldn't like a dress on your wedding day? I mean, look at that divine lace pyramid in the ad!
go away facebook. shoo!
Dude, what if you were a cross-dressing couple? Silicon Valley isn't just hard on the gays...
Privacy has always been an illusion... except now it is easier for the average person to find out anything about mostly anybody.

I just found this. My question for Facebook: Why am I being aggressively targeted with ads offering to let me have the late Heath Ledger leave me voice messages as the Joker? I'm sure it started innocently enough because I said I like Batman Begins on my profile, but now it just creeps me out. Bad taste, Facebook!
