Targeted advertising is scary

snousleJohn and I have been meaning to go see "Nixon in China" at the SF opera before it closes, but he has not yet bought the tickets.
So I'm derping around on icanhascheezburger.com and what do I get popping up but an ad for that very opera? HOW DO THEY KNOW? I haven't bought any discs, searched for it online, or anything. Yet somehow their ad server knows I'm likely to go see it. So much for being a special snowflake what with all my esoteric tastes in music. Harrumph.
