What happens when you get an innocent e-mail via Gmail?
Natalia is asking me something like:
Are you asleep?
and big brother brotherly hails gmailing to save us with keen not for profit ads:
"Are you snoring?"
buy this.
"Sleep difficulties?
buy this.
"Learn how to sleep well."
buy this
I write back:
"Catastrophe! I was asleep!
"Catastrophe! I'm awake!"
And big brother brotherly gingerly googles non-sensical adsense:
"Fiddler on the Roof"
go see.
"Tickets to Fiddler on the Roof"
buy buy buy
Fiddler on the Roof? I'm not the one who wrote this story.
How deep they penetrate our inner thoughts, how far they reach, those ads.
Do they read Farsi as well, Mehdi? Or any of our other languages?
I am the one who's sent out Invites to gmail accounts, so who could I blame but myself?
Comments:
Hi Mehdi!
As your comment arrived at my gmail - along it came 2 "Sponsored ads" to "International Trade Fairs" ('fairs' being the closest to Farsi... and one entitled "Big Brother Message Board".
Who says robots lack a sense of humor?
