  1. Update: Smorty Says:

    [...] Vinny did some legwork and got a statement from Smorty about the two campaigns that I posted about l… It’s a lame ass statement — real, real lame ass, but I truly applaud Vinny for giving these scumbags a chance to defend themselves — they didn’t. Vinny will be interested to know that Smorty has sent me two more campaign offers since, and both offers contained the exact same wording as in the previous: “Do not use the word “sponsored” or similiar anywhere.” Unless the advertisers are simply copying off of each other, they must be getting their copy from someone, right? [...]

    Hey Vinny - good to see your blog back up! Yes ads as blog posts are worse than viral marketers on city streets who pretend to be a new friend in order to sell you something. ala MLM and most major religions.

    I post about things I like, products, music, and such. It sucks that people reading blogs now have to consider each one as a “potential advertisement.”
