  • Amazon.com: Playmobil Security Check Point
    The comments here are amazing. “My 5 year old son pointed out that the passenger’s shoes cannot be removed. Then, we placed a deadly fingernail file underneath the passenger’s scarf, and neither the detector doorway nor the security wand picked it up.”
  • SportingNews.com – Packers: Favre retirement page a mistake
    “The people who handle our website set up mock pages. It’s as simple as that. A third party was preparing something in case (Favre’s retirement) happened. They’ve done that the last five years.” Your web site folks are idiots and should have a test site.
  • Googirl | San Francisco online
    I didn’t know Marissa Mayer is from Wisconsin. Yet another person I’d love to talk to for an hour.
  • Made You Thunk: Engage Your Readers With Typos and Misquotes | Copyblogger

  1. Hi Bob. I’m not suggesting people use typos as the only way to get attention; rather, as a way to suck in feedback and get conversations started. It’s a proven technique that’s been used for years to create sales and develop interest.

    Hope you can see that it was just a bit of fun and not something I think everyone should start adopting!
