anyone else notice that almost all the ads here sell products
seemingly geared toward illegal lock-picking or spying on naked
women? is it assumed that the bulk of yahoo users are criminals? or
is it just me -- does my personal profile in some way determine what
ads i'm seeing? (yeah, i'm a criminal :))

Today I am getting weight loss ads too. I assume they have narrowed
their demographic to overweight peeping-tom burglars.

It's what I see too, though for some reason I only see ads about
1/3 of the time the way I have my browser configured.
