What Target Demographic?

I went to a vegan website looking for marshmallow recommendations (I really want s'mores and gooey hot chocolate).

The popup ad spoke for itself--someone's web advertisers aren't hitting their target market.

Oh, that's priceless. By the way, I once handled a telemarketing call this way (stop me if you've heard this one):

Me: "Hello?"

Telemarketer: "Good evening m'am, I hope you're well. Now m'am, have you heard about Grade A Canadian Angust beef?"

Me: "Uh...this is a vegetarian household."

Telemarketer: "Oh, I'm so sorry!" ::hangs up::

That reminded me a little of:

Telemarketer: "Hello, if you could help us with our marketing then we can enter you into a competition to win a new kitchen! But first, do you own your house?"

Me: "No, I'm a student."

Telemarketer: "Oh... okay." (hangs up)
