Had some interesting spam today from a poster called Clare.
"This would amp up my year. Receiving money I didn’t work for. the people on this site are giving $100.00 for every Blog post you make for them on any different blog posting site. The faster we help them get to their goal the faster we too get our money! www.milliondollarcouple.com"
Basically, it seems to draw on the line of the student who sold pixels on a site to pay way through education. I recall another selling space on his own body (students go figure lol).
While, it is a nice if not done before idea; why on earth would I actually want to pay for them to live the life of greatness whilst moving around the world. Their site states that this million dollar couple want to be provided with money to pay off their debts and travel around the world. Well, wouldn’t any of us like that. I know of a couple right here who would love that. Yeah it a good idea if it actually works and all that, but what about substance? What do you get apart from a possibly dubious warm fuzzy feeling as you pay off their debts? There is no information as to what coverage this pixel of expense will give you as a company or person. I am rather sceptical.
Yes, I have deleted it and maybe give them too much coverage by actually posting here. It just struck me as another blight on blogs. These type of things invariably spiral into copy catness. As if our lives weren’t blighted enough by viagra and the like. Now, I have some cheeky so and so asking for money for a pixel and suggesting it would "amp" their year – my year would be amped by spammers going away.
On one level good luck to them as I think they might need it unless they actually can provide some return on this investment in their overdraft. Just falls a bit into the you gotta be kidding now I hitting delete category. If anyone is interested I will now be selling space on my dog for advertising along with the buy a cell promotion I am currently running on my husband.
