Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey cool Firefly news, check out the item right after the ad.

Huh.

...

Huh.

not your mom's socks.

heh. ok - style-sheet requestor just sent back to my post with the link "oh wow - didn't know that! Thanks!"

and the mail just came, including the dvd-I-said-I'd-watch for some marketing company and then forgot about. They said it was a tv drama, so I figured 'eh, whatever.' They asked me if I'd ever been an employee an ad agency. I said I've been a freelancer for ever and ever. They sounded confused and asked again. So, no. I've truthfully never been an employee at an ad agency. package comes - with two booklet/prize quizes (stop rolling your eyes, it's funny to me) one for before watching and one for after.

I dutifully fill out the first booklet, but can't really because we make a lot of our own items that these prizes represent. Or we don't use them at all (gum, for instance). But something is nagging at me. So I peek inside the second booklet. the one I'm filling out after I watch the tv show. Yup. Same product list, lookslike. Whatever I'm watching will be angling for me to change my buying habits.

Some things that are amusing about this:

1. someone sent me advertising mind-contr0l media and thinks that prize bait will keep me from wanting to skew the results... in a way that gets us all more Bacon Salt, burritos, and corsets.

2. I think I ghost-wrote part of the script that's coming during the phone portion of this event tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys, seriously??

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

If that's an April Fool's Day joke, it's just mean and SciFi is On The List.

Please don't let this be an April Fool's joke.

I don't see how it couldn't be.

Jesse, that's Gud's usual url (artflx), so I'm betting yes. But excellently done!

Today is the perfect day for the government to dumb stories into the news cycle that they dont' want people to actually pay attention to. Cause we'll all be, "april fool's right?"
