I blame the targeted ad system.

To get rid of the singles ads, I just changed my status.

The less info you give them, the more random and generic the ads.

Facebook has easily got the worst ads of anything I use today. They suck! No penis enlargement and nigerian money scams so far, at least.

However, I'm glad I'm not the only one getting these and I'm not being profiled somehow.

I think they're whole advertising model is confusing. I've had a couple of ads on there over the past month, and one day an ad will receive 25,000 views, followed by 300 the next day. There's no indication as to why this happens, but I saw that once I bumped up the amount I was willing to pay for clicks, I suddenly got more views :)
