Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog
Also, I founded the GoFightWinVT Tumblr, so if you're a Hokie, give it a follow. And, feel free to check out my Project 365 Tumblr.
Hey Walmart/StraightTalk.com, this is false advertising. Not that other cell phone companies don’t do the same thing, but this is flat out lying. A coworker told me about a prepaid cell phone plan at Walmart that includes unlimited talk, text and data for only $45 a month. I was like, “no way.” He was like, “way, man.” So, I looked it up.
Sure enough, there it was. I looked on the back of the card because it still sounded too good to be true, and sure enough, it is. One can imagine the shocked look on my face.
The talk and text is unlimited. However, the data, although advertised as “unlimited,” is actually… limited. And not like the 5GB limited that Verizon, AT&T and Sprint impose, because most people couldn’t come close to that any way. This Walmart plan is limited to 30MB. That’s less than 10 mp3s. Seriously? How in the hell can you call this “unlimited” when it is actually limited.
Let me break it down for you, Walmart: if you tell customers they can only use 30MB of date per month, that means that your plan, which you call “unlimited” is actually… limited. I know this is a hard concept to understand, but trust me on this one.
That’s all for today, folks. Tune in tomorrow when I fix the federal government. It shouldn’t take long.
Yeah, I don’t think these commercials are getting the desired results that Victoria Secret was banking on. All the women that I know that have seen these ads have the same reaction as my Tumblr friend (and fellow Hokie) kimbaland. Of course the women in these ad love their body, look at them! But, in reality, I bet most of the models don’t love their body. Think about it.
Of COURSE you do! LOOK AT YOURSELVES.
OK, here’s the deal. I own a company called CWI Media, LLC. We just “acquired” AdvertiseVA.com, a defunct advertising network that we are hoping to revive. CWI also owns two Virginia Tech fan sites: VTHokieFans.com and TechHoops.com, which rake in a tremendous amount of traffic, especially in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
We are looking for new advertisers for these two sites, which comprise the AdvertiseVA.com “network.” The cost for a 300x250 ad on both sites, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for a full year, is $3,000.
For some, that’s a big number, but when it comes to advertising, that’s a drop in the bucket. You could easily spend that, or more, on a one-time ad in your local newspaper, that will only appear once.
So, how do you earn the $600? Simple. You bring us a new advertiser and you get a 20 percent commission. Just like that. You don’t have to make sales calls if you don’t want to. Maybe you know a local business owner. Maybe your family members have a business. Or, maybe you want to make a few calls to local businesses. Bottom line is, you put in whatever time and effort you want. No commitment.
Just remember the NSFW infamous words of Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross: A - Always. B - Be. C - Closing. Always be closing. ALWAYS BE CLOSING! (Video below)

wow
OOH SHIIIIT.
Manhattan mini-storage always has awesome ads like this. A few years ago it had one that said “Your closet is so narrow it makes [Dick] Cheney look liberal.”
Oh, Manhattan Mini Storage. “New York: Seven Professional Sports Teams and the Mets” (or some variant thereof) was one of my favorites. Along with the one that says if you store your stuff with your parents it means you have to visit them.
Best.

That’s some good advertising sheet, right there.

What the shit is this?!
That’s crap.
Wow! Just wow! One of the best “commercials” I’ve ever seen.
The Occupy Wall Street commercial that you might soon see on air.
Reblog this, folks. Show it to anyone who still says they don’t know what the Occupy movement is about.

Amen.
