BBC Malware and EBAY-FARCEBOOK COLLUSION

Let's all trust TECHNOLOGY and the INTERNET. NOT.

Just a few weeks ago I got a message from my bank that I was getting "a year of free Internet security." Oh? Why the generosity? "Because our system was compromised and..." rather than face lawsuits, we'll placate our customers, insist no data was lost, and give a free "GIFT."

It seems we're now used to news articles about banks, chain stores and websites being invaded by hackers. They aren't just the pimply basement dwelling brats wearing Anonymous masks, but Commie assholes, Gook-faced Asian monsters and even Muslim scumbags. They don't just want to say "ha ha ho ho hee hee," they want to steal your money and identity and fuck up your country.

Today? Oh, nothing serious, just that visiting the BBC and New York Times and other staid and sensible websites...may have led you to MALWARE SHIT.

Lovely. JUST lovely.

Meanwhile, over at FARCEBOOK, I got a sudden AD that I didn't want to see.

FARCEBOOK just LOVES to throw ADS on your page to "spoil the fun." Like Google and Paypal and the rest, it's bait and switch...they bring you in, and then imprison you with their pestiness and their scams.

HEY, BUY ON EBAY, LOOKIE LOOKIE, SEE WHAT WE HAVE FOR YOU!!

Oh, you mean ugly fat con-artists and book bootleggers? THANKS FOR TELLING ME.

Here's the nefarious and downright fucking STUPID part of it.

They were showing me ads I had already seen.

I had noticed a fat ugly con artist (from the SOUTH, of course) who was running a ton of scams. He got kicked off on most of them, but re-wrote a few and eBay is letting him stay. THIS ad is a "get rich quick" deal. Sure. Here's an asshole with his hat hiding half of his pudgy face, and he's gonna make ME rich when all he can do is palm off "tricks" on EBAY. Give him $199 and he'll send you a booklet of "tricks" on investing. No wonder he's got no positive or sales in MONTHS.

I'd also clicked on an ad from one of those Sri Lanka wogs claiming "I own copyright" to somebody else's books. And now, these two ads were being shoved back in my face as an EBAY AD on FARCEBOOK.

HUH?

I clicked a little link for WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SHOWING ME THIS REPULSIVE SHIT I'VE ALREADY SEEN? AND I GOT...

Which doesn't really explain the underhanded, sneaky and disturbing fact that somehow whatever I surf on EBAY is being monitored, copied down, and somehow sent to FARCEBOOK and an account that is supposedly IN NO WAY RELATED TO MY EBAY IDENTITY.

Ah, but both my FARCEBOOK and EBAY surfing are connected to the same ISP. Hmmm.

The stupid part is that eBay is giving FARCEBOOK money to show me shit that I already saw, disliked, and would NEVER buy.

So that makes 'em a little less harmless than whatever malicious scumbags were hacking ads on the BBC and NEW YORK TIMES website the other day. But not by much.
