Girl Collects The Weirdest “Wish” Ads She Sees And Her Commentary Is Hilarious (22 Pics)

Targeted advertising is a huge part of the online experience these days – vast amounts of our personal data are sorted through by algorithms to produce ads supposedly tailor-made to best suit our behavior and preferences. It is big business and the main reason why social media and search engine giants are so keen to keep us sharing and clicking as much and as often as possible.

But they don't always get it right! Unless, of course, there are actually large amounts of people out there on the lookout for a prosthetic tongue, or hamster leash. The super cheap shopping app 'Wish' spends over $100 million on Facebook ads each year, has 170 million unique products to choose from and uploads over 9 million ads every week. That's a lot for the Facebook algorithm to handle and might explain why it often throws up some pretty crazy examples.

Imgur user BexRani has been collecting weird and wonderful Wish ads for a while now and has decided to share them for our viewing pleasure. And while the ads themselves are good for a chuckle, it is BexRani's confused and sarcastic commentary that really makes the post!

What is the strangest ad you've been 'targeted' with? Have you ever actually bought anything that was advertised to you online? Scroll down below to check out some hilariously random examples of what Facebook thinks people might 'Wish' for, and let us know what you think in the comments!
