Facebook and contextual ads, how do they work?

Couldn't find an appropriate thread for this, and it isn't really even GTP-related.

I'll explain; about 3 weeks ago I was in a private FB chat with an old friend when we got talking about our previous students, I mentioned that for a while I taught one of the original Billy Elliotts.

Now I'm seeing adverts for the musical everywhere. I haven't Googled it, I haven't visited a Billy Elliott site... the conclusion I'm forced to is that FB does ad-scraping from inside 'private' conversations?

Has anyone else had a similar experience or is this further proof of my paranoia/madness? :)

EDIT: Thank you GTP team, my own shiny paranoia thread :D :D
