I
received an email ad in my inbox today with a banner reading, “Get out and have
fun.”
The ad offered six online classes, two television related
offers, two board games, one software package, an iPod docking station, one
magazine subscription, one projector (yes, projector) and a savings on $40
t-shirts.
So, I’ll wear my $40 t-shirt and take six computer classes
while downloading software and watching television. I’ll listen to my iPod
while reading my magazines and flipping through my favorite slides. Then I’ll
play a board game with, um, well; maybe my online classmates would like to
Skype a game!
If there were such a thing as truth in advertising, the banner would have read, "Stay in and let us sell you more stuff."
