I'm on my hols visiting family in the Isle of Man for a few days, so tweeting will be light and blogging lighter.
But this site caught my eye, made mehave a bit of sick in mouth and then laugh loudly. The sad thing is ..... stuff like this still works!

I can't say it actually made me physically sick - more just disappointed that people still seem to think plastering any service or link with adverts is a good thing...
I'm tempted to try it, as I suspect a day or two will be enough to prove it doesn't add any value or make me rich!

Hi Dan. It didn't actually make me sick - just feel a little nauseous. It was the language and capitalisation in the ad - "You will have YOUR LIFE changed by using THIS AMAZING etc etc."
It's the online equivalent of those ads that promise to do something impossible but do it in a way that those of us living in hope can't help but try. :(

John Merrick - wasn't he the Elephant Man?

What does make me sick (with worry) is how professional looking these types of outfits are.

@Mark - Yes! LOL. Bad choice of fake name... if it is fake. MAYBE... it *is* the Elephant Man?
@Chris - thanks for stopping by. I totally agree with you. The web has lowered the barriers for outfits like this to look professional unfortunately :(
