<p>They must think that we'll either lie or leave stuff out. That's the only reason I can think of that they wouldn't just let us tell them "Show me ads for A but not B".</p>
<p>They should at least let us say "Not B". If I could avoid every ad targeted at drunk frat boys I would be very happy.</p>]]>
