FYI, facebook by default, uses pics from your profile in advertisements for friends. This is an option that is enabled by default, and you have to turn it off to stop it. You may be thinking that it's only for friends, but those are still your images being used by facebook in their advertisements. I don't see anyone getting payed for it -_- . So I will describe how to turn this off.
1. go to your settings
2. privacy
3. news feed and wall
4. facebook ads
5. uncheck the box to appear in facebook ads
viola! they wont be stealing your pics anymore for their ads. ;) As always, if you need help, just comment. And also as always, criticism is appreciated.

Hi Russ, nah I don't mind.. look around all you want :)
yeah i did that facebook change a few months ago when i found out as well. I am public enough as it is! good lookin out!
yeah, here i thought that my facebook was set to friends only.. then i find out that they could be using photos of me to advertise to my friends. It may only be just my friends, but leave my photos out of your advertisements.
