I didn’t know what to expect when I sent this one in. The subject is actually very nuanced (meaning there are lots of paths through the maze of logic surrounding it…) and here, I get to use my new favorite phrase “Depending On Who You Ask”.

I’m anticipating a flood of paranoid comments. But some are just funny – eg., my hard drive crashed, and NSA won’t send me the backup copy!

Ah, Data Mining. Major Companies do it.Actually, your data is mined right here on GoComics!! They know what comics you read, which ones you comment on, and what site you were at before you came to GoComics. They then show ads from around your location (they use your IP address to find you where you are…) and show ads. Depending on what (if any) you click, that tells them more about you and voila more “detailed” ads about you.

There may be a point — and a joke — here, but it’s extremely clumsily phrased. Work harder, Cravens.
