Saw this on another forum and some of the categories people get are rather bizarre and amusing.

Go to the following page, and you should see an 'Interests' field, click Edit next to that and it should show the entire list of categories Google thinks you're interested in. If it says N/A or Unknown it usually means you've opted-out already:

www.google.co.uk/settings/ads

Mine are:
Action & Adventure Films
Adventure Games
Dance
Hygiene & Toiletries
News
Olympics
Pet Food & Supplies
Pets
Reggaeton <--This one seems to come up a lot for some reason
Service Providers
Social Networks
Online Communities - Social Networks
Volvo

No idea what reggaeton is, I don't dance, I didn't watch the Olympics and I don't have any pets. And Volvo?!
