I am surrounded by assholes and apparently it’s all my fault.

Remember last week when I wrote about how Facebook was being insulting and creepy by suggesting that I needed this dead squirrel’s ass:

In case you’ve forgotten. It’s as if Facebook said, “Hey, we saw this asshole and thought of you.”

I got this ad all week and waited impatiently for the auction to end so the ad would go away and it finally did. Today I opened up Facebook to find that the ad was gone.

It was replaced by this one:

::sigh::

PS. Victor heard me yelling, “Really, Facebook?” so he looked at my monitor and was like, “What is wrong with you? Is this some weird fetish?” and I explained that I’d accidentally looked at a taxidermied ass ONE TIME (and then again to write the post and then once more to see what the tiny hiney sold for) and that I was clearly being pigeon-holed, and he thought that was a poor choice of words considering the situation. Also, I pointed out that the old squirrel ass ad is now popping up again too and it’s not even on sale anymore and then I clicked over to prove it and Victor was like “What are you doing? IF YOU CLICK ON ANIMAL ASS ADS YOU’LL JUST GET MORE ANIMAL ASS ADS” and I thought “I should put that on a shirt” and Victor yelled, “YOU’RE BRINGING THIS ON YOURSELF.” And he has a point, but I’m not sure how to stop this, because how can you not click on a taxidermied animal butt that’s tagged “brand-new, never opened”?

Stop blaming the victim, Victor.

And in other news, it’s time for the weekly wrap-up: What you missed in my shop (Named “Eight pounds of uncut cocaine” so that your credit card bill will be more interesting.):

Secretly freaking out on the inside. It’s nice to wear because this way the normal people will steer clear and our tribe can identify each other. Plus, people might offer you sedatives. EVERYONE WINS.
The perfect mousepad to remind you that if at first you don’t succeed you can always destroy your computer with a hammer.

What you missed on the internets:

Kick-ass stuff I pinned.
I asked for help to find a video game I’d forgotten the name of and got a billion guesses that were not correct but which made me want to play them all. Sharing them here if you like the same weird stuff I do.
Cake Wrecks found my next anniversary cake.

This week on shit-I-didn’t-come-up-with-but-wish-I-did-because-it’s-kind-of-awesome:

Emergency Compliment. I recommend.
If you’re down with OPP then you’ll like this. (“OPP” in the case means “Other People’s People”.)

This week’s wrap-up is brought to you by my friend Virginia who writes Outrunning The Cloud, a fabulous blog about kicking breast cancer’s ass. Today begins their second annual online fundraiser for The Weekend to End Women’s Cancers, which directly benefits the hospital where both Virginia and her mom (who died of breast cancer) were treated. You can donate directly on her blog or you can bid in the online auction right here. Lots of items being added but this one is a personal favorite. Go check it out now.
