Really, Ad? Really?

I've been saying for a long time that Facebook has some of the shoddiest, most poorly made ads on the internet. I don't know if they're tailor made for stupid people, farmed out to a non-english speaking country, or the creator just doesn't know how to use spell check, but they're the worst.

Usually it's some poorly worded statement like "Singles Gorgeous Girls Over 30" or "1 Flat Stomach Rule: Obey!" Many times it's targeted based on your Facebook networks, so I get things like "Investment Opportunity for Purdue Grads" or "Heal Your PTSD- Watch 'A Soldier's Heart'" (I'm in the Navy network, after all). But check out the dandy it just fed me:

I'm sold!Really? Does anyone check these before they stream it out to millions of people? I can't imagine Google or Facebook being okay with this. What were they thinking?

"Let's see, cash background: Check. Bikini girl with giant knockers: Check. Wait...wait...her boobs can be the O's in 'Google!' Slap on a line about my pijama and hello promotion!"

Really, it's just sad.
