So browsing a USA based news site and lo and behold I get to scroll past absurd ads like these that apparently just grab my location via IP address and plug in whatever BS they are trying to sell.give us a break and at least try to be relevant!

The real absurdity is referring to CNN as a "news site." The "news" CNN reports is as legitimate as those Bangkok confiscated cars and cheap retirement villages.
