That ad is obviously directly targeted using some cookies or something in Facebook - because I've seen it on a lot of totally random websites I visit.

It's served up by google ads/double click so it's a google thing, not a facebook thing.

I usually block all of these things with Ghostery but I had it turned off for some testing today.

In fact, google will even tell you what they think you might be interested in and let you tailor it: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences

Rod offers a better life, the larger the deposit the better life you will have.

Looks like granite, maybe she is soloing at Killecrankie. Hard to tell though as it is foreshortened and could be less than 9 m tall.
