What part of my recent obsessive and admittedly no doubt unhealthy obsession I have with playing klondike solitaire makes me look as a plausible target market, pun bitterly intended, for Super Three-D Sniper Hero Revenge Fantasy phone game?

What the fuck, that's a game?!

I did not pay close attention to it because I was trying to make it go away but the advert included Bad Man Holding Blonde Woman Captive You Must Properly Place Your Crosshairs On The Bad Man as its dominant image so I think my editorializing is warranted.

card game + Klondike => gold rush => murder?

Algorithms rarely have a "give up" point in them; LinkedIn sometimes matches me with really implausible jobs. (e.g., "nuclear decommissioning engineer")
