Michele Catalano was looking for information online about pressure cookers. Her husband, in the same time frame, was Googling backpacks.

Ooh, I have a new way for single women to meet men: start some internet buzz about making bombs out of vibrators. Then, when they do some shopping on the internet, they can get visited by 6-12 young, healthy men in good physical shape who have jobs with good benefits and retirement plans.

My job is a real pressure cooker. Yesterday afternoon, my boss blew up at me. She had run out of fertilizer for her office plants and blamed me. That woman is a real terror.

He throws them so fast that they sound like a low-flying plane...

"Ok, ok, I got it, I got it" [Joe Pesci voice]. A front company, say Universal Exports, buys a Google content-based ad for things like "pressure cooker" [crikey, now I'M on the list!], etc., then captures the IP address of those who download their image as part of the ad content. Piece of cake from there ...

Remember the crap about how they'rd only spying on people in the US with cause - great cause - and a judge and all that crap... This proves they're spying on all of us... on everything we do, say, or buy. All the time.
