Facebook now appears to think I'm from the subcontinent, or of South Asian ancestry.

This is progress of a sort. Some months ago I think they thought I was Jewish, as I was getting the same egg donor ad from the same people but with the title "Jewish Egg Donors Needed". They also used a different photo.

I suppose it's the sari ads I clicked on a while back.

From a blog comment about Chinese fraudsters, a note about the whole certification regime.

From a comment in a blogpost about Chinese fraudsters, a somewhat related note about the ISO certification regime:

ISO900x - which sounded grand, but all it did was to say you had a repeatable process (so if your process was to dump every client complaint into a waste basket, and you could prove that no-one ever did anything else, you'd be ISO9000 for customer complaints procedures).
