Okay, so maybe just old white people don't understand how the internet works. Who would be genuinely intrigued by a "free" weekly email? "You mean to tell me I can get conservative claptrap delivered to my inbox at no charge at all? Can I also opt in to receive free spam from partner businesses?!"Regardless of how you feel about Newt Gingrich's views, you have to acknowledge that there's clearly some demand for it out there. But when has anyone ever had to pay cash to hear what he has to say? Newt Gingrich's opinions are unavoidable. Even if you didn't get the free weekly email, there's plenty of opportunity to catch him blabbing on talk radio or Fox News or whatever.
I also like the headline "Free Newt!" Not exactly the clearest. At first I thought it meant, "Free Newt from jail!" or maybe, "Free Newt from the prejudiced censorship of the liberal media!" It could also be read, if you were scrolling down and didn't yet see Gingrich's sunny grin, as, "Free Salamander!"
Now, I'm going to go see if I can sign up for some free blogs somewhere...
I think I'd prefer the free salamander.
ReplyDeleteHey, if you're someone who likes slimy things, you can't lose with either option.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is hilarious. My blog is reserved for bitching about all things that annoy me, but I dedicated a post to commercials awhile back. I highlighted Lexus and Olive Garden, among others. Glad to find someone as cynical and critical as I!
ReplyDeleteOh, Olive Garden is one of the all-time worst offenders. If they had more of their commercials on YouTube, I'd write up another one.
