Must try harder
So anyway you're doing a bit of light reading about the Reformation, during which you Google
Hmm.
I suppose now I'll be followed round the web by slimming adverts for the next few weeks. A couple of years ago I did a search for something to do with snakes. A passing interest so casual and inconsequential that I can't remember the detail of it. What I do remember is that the most interesting result was on the website of a Dutch zoo. Now officially I don't read Dutch but as Dutch is — sorry, Dutch people, but it's true — essentially German vocabulary with an English consonant system, I can manage reasonably well. And so it was that for months thereafter, 50% of the adverts displayed to me by websites were in the Dutch language.
It's bad enough you being creepily intrusive, Google, but you might at least be competently creepily intrusive.
Innit.
Diet of Worms
As you do, innit. The mighty algorithms of Google swing into action to bring you a personalized advertisement carefully matched to your interests

i sometimes look up web pages detailing RoP atrocities and underhand activities by our newly arrived friends from many tribes.
However I now get bombarded (no pun intended) on Goggle by ads inviting me to meet headscarf-clad women. I can't think why as I see plenty round the streets where I live already. You know, heads down, hands thrust deep in coat pockets and looking as miserable as all get out. I presume they are not happy despite the cosmic rewards on offer to their cult, but I have no desire to try to cheer them up (anyhow, many of them don't really speak my language) so I am happy to let them pass by.
But to meet more of them? I think not.

I also look at a lot of anti-jihad sites (not anti-Islam ones, I hasten to add, to forestall my probably inevitable arrest for offending someone or other), and I am (figuratively)assaulted by Muslim dating sites. I just wish they would be a little more specific, and let me clarify whether I would prefer to be the first, second, third, or fourth wife of some hirsute RoP public benefits recipient.
