Subject: BS: Download/Play now ad From: frogprince Date: 22 Sep 13 - 01:37 PM That's currently my most frequent ad at the top here. It has also followed me around to EwwwTube and maybe some other places. To me, it's kinda like "I dare you to push the button and see how much time you wind up wasting, or how much it takes to straighten out the mess it causes". I confess to getting this little itch of curiosity, but nowhere near enough to make me click it. Can everyone but me figure out what it is by looking at the ad? A tool to convert something to something? Does anyone know if it is actually anything at all worthwhile? |

Subject: RE: BS: Download/Play now ad From: JohnInKansas Date: 23 Sep 13 - 03:05 AM Some decades ago, after one of the Directors at the mid-sized corporation where I was working had delivered an impressive speech about what wonderful products the company was producing, the Corporate President got up and said: You don't NEED A PEODUCT if the sales force is GOOD ENOUGH. The sales people DON'T NEED TO KNOW what the product is, in order to make customers WANT IT. You DON'T NEED to tell the customer what you've got. YOU ONLY HAVE TO MAKE HIM WANT IT. *** Apparently the idea has spread. Even if the link isn't malicious, you click it to get screwed - one way or another. (Dealing with criminals is dangerous, and wasting time with idiots is BORING. Nothing to be gained either way.) John |
