Unexpected Advert

As many readers may know, Facebook has little advertisements on the side, tailored to some piece of information gleaned about you from your online activity. We have been getting this one:

"Are u single and desire to marry this year? Attend this Powerful Marriage Seminar with Pastor Chris at KICC Nairobi. Click for details..."

Now, a couple thoughts on this:

1. There are obvious elements of our FB profiles which would suggest that this would not appeal to us, namely that we are married.

2. If you are single and desire to marry, how would you think this will help you?

3. There are apparently enough Kenyans that are wealthy enough (and likely, educated enough) to have consistent FB access to make this advertisement a viable marketing strategy. Yet further proof that education does not cure society's ills.
