Am I the only one who finds ads that use some sort of method to figure out where you're accessing the internet from and display local ads for local businesses(ie, "Hungry for pizza? Try Exampolini's Italian Grill, the best pizza in Queens!" "Looking for low prices on instruments in Dallas? Look no further than Analogia's Music Warehouse!", etc.) more creepy than enticing?

"Commander Shepard. You've been dead for two years. Don't you think you deserve some time to relax and rejuvenate? Try Asari Consort services."

 

Yes. Creepy deepy ads.

It's actually easy to find out where someone is accessing the internet from; find their ISP. Now, finding their exact location, that isn't public. But their ISP is public, and as such you can track down their general town-area.

 

That said, I find them immensely creepy.

Yeah... in the future it's worse, apparently.
