Dear MySpace, re: targeted advertising

It's bad enough that MySpace greets me at login with a huge ad for a dating service called TRUE that screens out "marrieds" - which I am. Why, MySpace, do I continue to see this ad when my profle SAYS that I am married? Are you assuming that I'm going to lie, and try to use the service anyway?

Now I'm also getting this choice banner ad:

 

MySpace, I have gone out of my way to tell you what my musical and dining preferences are. Why are you dangling a meal at the Olive Garden in front of me as an incentive to weigh in on Kevin Federline's talents?

You should be asking me, "Do you think the Velvet Underground was better before John Cale left? Answer for a FREE Chick Fil-A sandwich!"

Seriously, guys, it's the 21st century. Pull it together.
