Now the New York Times has weighed in, with an entertaining and illuminating article on weird Facebook ads (including ones claiming to be aimed at Eddie Izzard fans). It says that Facebook doesn’t approve ads individually, but that ones that mention factors that really have nothing to do with the subject of the ad -- such as age, sex, and feelings about Eddie Izzard in the case of a “free iPad” ad -- are prohibited and will be deleted when they’re found.
