Random Thoughts

What is it with all the porn companies now putting up ads with your city name in it? You know that ones I'm talking about. You'll be happily checking out a bunch of different porn sites, but they all seem to claim that the action is being shot in your city. Not only that, but all the online dating ads that you inevitably come across in your hunt for the right jerking material feature unbelievable hotties that supposedly live in your neck of the woods and simply can't find a guy willing to take down such a hot piece of ass. Please.

These web savvy marketing masters have simply mastered some technology that is widely available if you are looking for it. The can figure out what city you're in simply by your IP address. No, they don't know where you live exactly (yet anyway) but they do know more or less where you are, possibly even you zip code.

The whole thing creeps me out a little. When I'm surfing late at night in the privacy (that I think I have) it is disconcerting to say the least for these porn companies to know where I am. I personally don't need to be reminded that someone might be keeping an eye on what I'm doing when I'm just trying to look at some dirty pictures.
