Dump your spam elsewhere, ok?
So I just got an email right now:
Bonjour, j’espère que vous allez bien !
Je suis intéressé par l’achat d’un lien sur la page d’accueil sur panatlantica.org. En une note de côté, si vous vendez des liens texte sur d’autres sites faites le moi savoir.
Je cherche surtout à acheter une publicité pour une période de 6 ou 12 mois. Transmettez-moi votre prix demandé pour une pub.
Au plaisir de votre réponse !
So this guy (or girl) basically wants to buy links on my site, actually advertisement for 6-12 month. Interestingly enough, this email was directed to my work email address.
Well. What shall I say to that. Nice try, but dump your spam elsewhere, ok?
Dirk just reminded me about old school times. Really had to laugh on this story: we had a chemistry teacher who really looked like a young Tom Selleck. I thought he was hot but usually nobody was paying attention in his classes. So whenever people were again just doing what THEY wanted, he pulled out some weirdo experiment from underneath his table which would eventually result in a big, loud explosion, usually followed by lots of smoke. Once however one of his big bang experiments went wrong and an aquarium on his table bursted. 15 gallons of water were shooting all over first row and hit Puppies who was - as usually - putting on nail polish or applying some other latest make-up trick. Puppies yelled up loud, she was soaking wet and the class, for the first time ever, saw her entirely rinsed from all the thick layers of make-up. While everyone looked in shock at Puppies, I observed the teacher. That definitively WAS a cheeky smirk on his face. I guess he was VERY pleased about the outcome of his experiment ;-)
Just a short reminder to everybody. EVERYBODY, gottit? This, today, is even more true for straight young men and women who seem to think that AIDS is something that does not apply to them. I said it a thousand times…

What’s Wrong In This Picture?
Lately I have seen this on various company sites and to my linguistic knowledge, it does not make ANY sense. Yet even: it is complete semantical bullshit: Products that are advertised as being “FREE” when in fact they do cost money. What am I? Free to buy? Excuse me? This ridiculous practice should stop. Companies must understand that in this day and age you cannot fool your own customers any longer.
Have a look for yourself. Nice - “Free” and “Buy Now” used as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
