Epiphanous panoply of flavor in liquid-jewel form. Salesfolk Walking The Extra Mile

I got an email the other day that was a step above the normal spam emails. This one had some originality and a touch of honesty that was . . . can't quite find the word. I'll let you judge for yourself. I thought about posting it with a comment on how he was selling his product. But came to my senses.

But then someone gave us some coffee that was also a remarkable example of the creative (in this case I'm not saying creative is a good thing) marketing. I'm still thinking about both. So I'll let you come to your own conclusions.

First the email pitch:

I like a guy who uses punctuation marks to hide profanity. And then goes on to sell you something unethical and barely legal. Like wearing a suit and tie and speaking polite while he fleeces you. In this down economy I'm sure he has plenty of takers. I didn't even want to try going to the site and didn't want to promote a scheme where I'm sure the only one who might come out ahead is Salve himself. But check youtube for "eat shoe naked."


The Coffee - Someone had a good time here. I guess I'm thinking about the folks who fork over good money for this. A positive spin is that they are rewarding people for going beyond the everyday hype.






OK, this has to be a spoof on snooty wine and coffee connoisseurs. Doesn't it?



Notice that I have ignored the potential Google hit benefits of actually writing the name of the coffee in this post, though as I write this I realize it's on one of the photos.
