You're way, way off. Except for the wrinkle cream.


Three weeks ago we searched online for nursing care options for an aging parent. Now, every time we hit Slate.com we get served text ads like these -- for Viagra, arthritis, retirement homes and joint creams. This is called ad retargeting, when advertisers chase you around the web after you (apparently) identify yourself as a prospect interested in their service.

Dudes! We're still relatively young and use words like "dudes". Haven't these online ad networks ever heard of customer modality?
