You know what P.T. Banum said: "no one has ever gone broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public." Maybe that's true but I can't believe anyone is going for these "Ghana" adds or "my Master passed away, send me relocation funds and I'll be yours forever" adds. Give me a break! Still someone keeps churning them out so they either are persistant or it's paying off. When I was going to college one of my friends used to go down to the central quad area on campus and proposition one girl after another as they walked by. He got a ton of rejections but sooner or later he hit paydirt. Maybe that's what the Ghana guys are doing. I just picture a couple of guys in a steamy African sweatshop with their computer, a scanner, collection of Maxim magazines and a shopworn copy of an English dictionary (or maybe a first grade primary reader) constructing these horribly mangled and rediculous adds. |
