Personalised Ads? Ah, it's not the personalisation.
Ah so it's not the personalisation that people are bothered about, it's the ads themselves. Then install something like Adblock Plus.
Whilst I agree that few people want to see ads, if I do have to see them, I'd rather they were personalised than random.
After all, every ad you see in print or on the TV, is tailored to the audience the advertisers think are watching, which is a form of personalisation.
