Creepiest Ads on the Web

I don't think it can be considered an invasion of privacy - YET. Think about it, advertisers already know (for the most part) who they're advertising to, this just takes it one step further in a public setting. Anyone can take a picture of a crowd - advertisers do it all the time in fact. I don't see how this is any different from what is already done.

your under a camrera all over the mall. there just using it to send out to there peer audiance. like ads on tv the baby boomers old classic music in the background or a blast from the past to stimulate the target marget

Don't let alex jones hear about this, new world order and the ignorant sheep being targeted by big brother once again

I really hate this idea. It's definitely an invasion of privacy; they tell you that there's nothing that can recognize an individual, but do you always believe everything you're told? They're counting on that. If I want to buy something, I will. But I don't like to be manipulated like that. Advertising is a lot of psychology in the first place, and this seems like laziness on their part. Besides that, do you know that the more you shrug off things like this, these little moves and changes in technology, the more you leave the door open for future abuse of it? Are you really gonna be okay with it when there are cameras everywhere and you're being monitored every moment of the day? Just don't give them an opening, because it will definitely be taken advantage of.
Why don't we have more of a say in things like this, by the way? Last time I checked, this WAS America.

HUMM, SEEMS LIKE THERE IS ALOT OF SPYING GOING ON,JUST DONT GO TO THE MALL.THXS

It is definitely invasion of privacy, but I guarantee you wont see the moronic aclu or any democrats putting up a fuss about it.

With all of the other problems currently existing, does it really seem wise to spend on facial recognition technology. I am constantly appauld by the amount of ignorant and blind spending our buisnesses and government do. If you want to know why projections never turn into projects in this country it's because of corrupt leaders with their own agendas. furthermore, we as citizens spend how much on entertainment? The money and ability is there just not the drive or desire. why help someone else when you can buy something super cool for yourself instead. I beleive thats a big problem don't you

Big Brother is watching you?
Well, apparently.

I think the world has sold their soul to the devil, and of course next is attacking your private life, what a sick world we live in, but not for a long time, the devil will be chained for 1000years and we will have peace without him and all those who run with him

Big brother is watching.

I can't see how this is a privacy issue at all. There's no assumption of privacy (or right to it) walking around a privately-owned public mall. The owners have every right to look at whatever they want out in the PUBLIC areas of THEIR mall.

Likewise, if you walked around those public areas with a $20 camera in your hand making a movie or everything you saw (or memorizing everybody with your photographic memory) nobody could object: cuz, they're OUT IN PUBLIC!

It's not like an ad machine with a camera in it is going to "lead" to a real loss of privacy any more than the other people in the mall (who might have really, really good memories) who just see you. Look at it this way - the ad company could have a person walking around making the same observations.

Now if they install one of these in your home, or one that looks through the cracks of your bedroom curtains, or the mall bathroom stalls (where you DO have an assumption of privacy for the purpose of using it) that's different. Likewise, it would be different if somebody with a Kodak Easyshare Camera (or their plain old human memory) did that, too.

There are lots of grey areas. This isn't one of them.

Geek paranoia, classic! Run geeks, run!

Oh thank you New World Order for your total slave grid system being introduced slowly to the public. You are scanning are faces, you are scanning our car tags, we are being tracked and listened to by our cell phones. Oh but I don't see anything wrong with this.. Keep being sheep and follow your god Obama into hyper tyranny.
You had your chance America to free this country with Ron Paul. Enjoy Martial Law, enjoy Fema camps, enjoy this wonderful police state. INFOWARS.COM PRISONPLANET.COM LOOSECHANGE911.COM AMERICANFREEPRESS.NET TRUTHNEWS.US JONESREPORT.COM

Beth,
If we let advertiser get away with this then next time it want be just for info or advertisers. People are getting to passive about what we let the government or others do. Tomorrow we could be living the "Minority Report" then it will be to late for you passive people to complain. There is lot of good technology out there but do we really want people spying on us. As far as advertisers getting info on age, gender, income and other info it is your choice to give it to them, then in the end you have no one to blame but yourself. But if we start letting others do it without our knowledge then it is invasion of privacy.

The scariest thing about all this is how we as a nation - and the whole civilized world for that matter - are being slowly but surely brainwashed into buying, buying snd spending, spending and wanting more, even when we have no possible use for whatever it is (blankets with sleeves, anyone?).

Hey, it could be a grey area if it followed you home. Suppose you tried to get away from it and it chases you like the paparazzi (or would that be like a paparazzo?)

You just wait until you're trying to get away from these things and they track you down where you live and camp outside your property line, waiting to chase you into a tunnel where you crash your car.

With all the mall shooting going around, it may be a good idea to have everybody that comes into the mall identified especially if they are up to no good.

this is all part of our new gov spy tactics.
