Wayne has explained elsewhere about how we get our individualized ads at the top of our Spectator pages. (It goes by your online browsing history)
A while ago, I posted in the donuts thread about my brother's facebook profile picture being stolen. I had to work with him over the phone to change his picture and lock down his facebook privacy issues.
It was a beautiful picture of my brother and sister-in-law in the desert near where they live. My s-i-l happens to be originally from the Philippines, and that is what I think is behind these ads. You see, the site that stole their picture is one for caucasian men looking for asian women. They were just annoying in the beginning. Now they're starting to be disgusting (offering services).
I've tried clearing my browsing history, cache, cookies, etc. Nothing worked. I've finally come up with a plan that seems to be working. Before coming on to the Spectator each time, I'm now spending time visiting dog rescue sites to have pictures of cute little furry creatures appear at the top of my Spectator page instead of the junk. So far, so good.
I hope nobody has this same problem. If you do, remember what I did to try to fool the ad program.
