Here's what Facebook thinks are well targeted ads for me (just now).
Sigh.... FB trades on the idea that it can target tailored ad campaigns at consumers based on their secret source knowledge graph.. as they track our likes, interests and conversations on FB and all around the web.
*Caveat - My birth year is set to 1920 (or something) which may mess things up a bit for them.. but everything else is genuine. I use the mobile app on my phone so they know where I live/work/play.
It's so rubbish and scammy and sleazy feeling.
