Truth in Advertising..?

I wish that I was making this up, but YouTube has been serving an almost exclusive mixture of Geek Dating icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 and Metalhead Dating icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 advertisements as of late. How does it know? Also, who in the world would have guessed that online metalhead dating could become a viable enterprise?

In typical Interweb fashion, these advertisements made their way to me by following a peculiar trail of digital breadcrumbs: I was watching a fan-made video for the Deftones song Rivière that happens to steal all of its footage from a video for the song Fantasy by Breakbot.

Rivière icon-external-link-12x12 (track 11 from the Saturday Night Wrist LP by Deftones icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )


Regarding the metalhead dating website, I would love to crack into that database for a few hours. Just imagine the hoots and hollers that are to be had.
