Notice any similarities?

They, the company, should be sued.


I typed in some bogus information on the first page of the site they link to (here and here is another) and down at the bottom in small print (on the second page- after you type in the information) it says they will bill you 70+ a month for access to their system- The Google Treasure Chest as they call it. What tipped me off was the disclaimer at the bottom of the blogs. Plus, both links were top results on alexa.com.

Here is their fine print: By submitting this form I authorize Google Treasure Chest to immediately charge my credit card for instant access to the Instant Google kit. I hereby request that Google Treasure Chest activate my account and authorize them to advance funds as indicated. Monthly Service fees will commence seven days from the date of this purchase, and will be billed monthly thereafter. After the seven day trial you will be billed seventy one dollars and twenty one cents USD monthly for the continued access to the software. No refunds will be given for failure to use the requested and provided services. You may cancel at anytime by writing to 2510 Warren Ave Ste. 3363, Cheyenne, WY 82001 or calling 866.951.1406.

Jackie Moon & Old Spice

Quite possibly the funniest commercials I have ever seen.

Super Bowl XLII 2008 Commercials

Below are some commercials that invoked a comment from me. Let me know what your thoughts are. What was your favorite commercial from the Super Bowl?

1. My favorite overall commercial

2. Most creative.

3. Can't go wrong with the song, but why does the lizard "break wind"?

4. This one just makes me uncomfortable (and for the record, it makes me not want to buy peanuts!).

5. Sad use of celebrity to sale a drink. I feel sorry for that horse.

6. Pretty creative. Best use of baby in commercial.

7. See what happens when someone believes in you.

8. The best childhood toy ever invented!

9. Why are clowns kind of creepy?

10. Cars.com made some funny commercials as well.

You can watch them all here.

Askville From Amazon.com

I recieved this in my inbox this morning and thought I would share. I am curious to see if it is just a knock-off of the now defunct Google Answers or the still up-and-running Google Groups or if Amazon has come up with some improvements to the peer answer system. It is going to be hard to beat threaded responses in my opinion.

Here is message sent to me: You're Invited! As a valued Amazon customer, you've been specially picked to get an early look at a new website Amazon has just launched called Askville. Askville is a place where you can ask any question on any topic and get real answers from real people. It’s a fun place to meet others with similar interests to you and a place where you can share what you know. You can learn something new every day or help and meet others using your knowledge. It's new, and best of all, it's free!

You can visit Askville here.

Hoover Vacuum Ad

A Miami based ad school came up with this one. I thought it was pretty good.

Coat Hangers And Abortion Rights

Its billboards have always been edgy, but has Manhattan Mini Storage gone over the edge?The ad causing controversy depicts a coat hanger and takes a stance on abortion, along with the slogan: "Your closet space is shrinking as fast as her right to choose."

You can read more here.

Some questions:
-What are your thoughts on abortion?
-Do women have the right to choose if someone lives or dies?
-What is society's role in supporting/rejecting abortion?
-If abortion was overturned, would you still get an abortion illegally?
