On the Curiouser Side of Consumerism
So I'm reading a news article and I see an ad at the bottom enticing me with "Top 10 Deals for Giraffe Statues!" How Poststructural is that?

Maybe a bot that generates clickbait from your browsing is showing how stupid it is. Or maybe being clever in a quirky way (perhaps because you hang out here ). One test would be - did you click it?

Re: On the Curiouser Side of Consumerism
It almost roped me in, but not yet.
On the web I had indeed been looking briefly at figurines, but not at giraffes, so the ad might be mere random coincidence. But if not: Giraffes? Imagine my scrunched brow. I think it's because I hang out here, like you said.
