Facebook based ads? June 18, 2009

I was browsing another website whilst logged into Facebook, and I came across a slightly disturbing advert. At the top of the page, it showed my Facebook photo, a friend’s photo, and this message:
“Hey [my name], [friend's name] sees your naked profile! Decorate it now!”
I’m not sure how this works; is facebook selling my data? Is my cookie being used by third parties? I dunno, but I don’t like the idea. It seems a to be an invasion of my privacy to have a site that has no connection with Facebook to be pulling up my personal details. C’mon Facebook, give us an explanation.
