I want to tweet this post so badly, but I know I’ll immediately be followed by dozens of these online marketing fucks as they crawl for keywords.

Guess I’ll just print out a hard copy and pass it around the office (analog social networking).

I was actually spammed by the GBTC’s twitter acount (not on purpose I think there twitter account was hacked) about a scam like this. I am amazed on your seemingly accurate analysis of MLM. I hate arbitrary claims, however it seems to work for them. Marketing is still marketing. People should however wise up to these ridiculous unfounded statements.

Great Job

Daniel: I link to these sites in order to prove they exist. Otherwise, I could be making all this up.

It’s the same reason people document murderous rampages, philandering politicians and balloon boys: if we don’t have evidence that these things happen, someone else will try them because they seem like a good idea.

Ridiculous. I guess I could be a millionaire the same way as the owner of GVO, but I’m not good enough at making charts.

My dad is the exact target audience of these MLM pitches. Every week I get another e-mail from him… “what do you think about this offer?” In a nutshell — gullible retirees who have money (and time) to spend, but still want more money.

I definitely need to switch my 401K advisor to Buzz Lightyear. Porky Pig just hasn’t been cutting it lately.
