This just arrived, by email, from Wiley 'Lil Tuna' Kestner, one of China's most trusted food and technopolitics experts:
Get You're [Sic] Quiz On!
My dear family & friends (with iPhones and iTouches),
If you guessed this was lame spam, shamelessly promoting some ridiculous product, then congratulations you've just scored your first ten points! Welcome to Get Your Quiz On™ the brand new FREE :O trivia game show from Prairiedogg for your iPhones, iTouch, and yes, even the iPads!
I know, I know, you're just dying to find out how much you know about Ninjas, Snax, and Mullets, so instead of reading my skin-deep, narcissistic cry-for-help any further, do these things, and do them well:
- Download the FREE game here: http://bit.ly/geeko
- After downloading it, give it a 5 star rating + rave written review on the iTunes store.
- Spam your facebooks and twitters mercilessly with this link (10 extra points for each person that unfriends you as a result!):http://bit.ly/geeko
At this point, Seth Godin would probably advise me to write a short personalized note that tried to make it seem like I cared about our friendship in the hope of establishing some kind of human rapport. But I know that your [sic] a savvy internets expert, and wouldn't fall for cheap marketing ploys like that. So instead of standing around singing kumbaya and talking about our feelings, lets go get busy with points one, two, and three.
Love,
Wiley
PS - This is where I would claim to take you off my mailing list at your request if I had any intention of doing so.
How many points do I get for a copied and pasted blog post?
