hyper targeted magazine advertising
my dad opened his maclean's magazine today to find this. my mother thought they had just randomly chosen to use his name in all their advertising (there used to be a fictional G. Raymond used on credit card ads). turns out if you can print your name and city of residence on the front to mail it to you (my dad subscribes) it isn't much harder to print it as part of an ad as well.
i just wonder how they thought this was a good idea. it's one thing to quietly collect and aggregate huge databases of personal information and activities about consumers, but its another to flout that fact in your advertising.
