I used to be angry, now I’m just amused…
In the Comments sections of posts, those seemingly robot-driven ads used to annoy me. Those “Sexy Sexy! Pictures, check them out… earn $873,990.02 per hour from your laptop!” Those ads. However the more I see them—usually interrupting vital debate over climate change or whatnot—the more those ads charm me.
The quirkly numbers. Even the strange “cb36157” (see below) act as oddball punctuation. And the campy use of words like “greenbacks.” These days I seek out such intrusive ads and collect their strange language.
In time, it would be fun to write a love story—or any trite genre story—in the style of one of these robo ads, protracted. Readers will recognize the form and be amused to see it pushed to its limits. Below you’ll find one from today’s surfing:
I've actually made $19,480 in calendar month by simply working a few easy tasks at my laptop.~cb36157~As I lost my last business, I was so troubled but fortunately I have obtained this top task achieving this I can manage to obtain thousand of dollars just from home.~cb36157~Any individual can certainly avail this best opportunity and may receive more greenbacks online by going this site.
