The sad part is, people probably buy this crap…

So, I’m browsing through my filtered spam just to make sure nothing legit got blocked before I delete it all and the subject of one of the spam messages catches my eye. Not because I’m interested in their product, but, more because I want to see if they are serious. And, without fail, it’s a real product… The subject was “Name A Star For Someone Special…”. My first thought was that I’m sure there’s a cost involved…, of course, there was… So, a quick look at the email and it points me to their site. Ahh yes. Now I see. I can name a star in the sky after somebody I love. And, as luck would have it, it makes the PERFECT holiday gift… This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where as gifts they told people they made a contribution to some charity in their name… My lord people, do like the rest of us do… Wait until December 24th, run to Save-on and purchase all the Whitman’s Chocolate samplers…
