I'm getting real Tired Of Seeing The "F" Word

Especially when it's not the truth, which is 99% of the time. Yes, it's over used to the point that it has totally lost the meaning we used to ascribe to it.

I remember, and it hasn't been that long ago, that when someone used the "F" word you could count on it meaning just one thing.

FREE!! And, exactly what did you think I was talking about?

You must know what I mean. You see it hundreds of times per day. You may even be promoting this way yourself.

Ok, here's the pitch: "Free e-book containing all the answers to the universe. Articles By such renowned figures as, Pope John, Buddha, Paul Bunion, and of course the ever popular Whosis. This FREE E-book isn't available anywhere else in the known universe. (The word "known" added per our legal advisor. It's our opinion this FREE e- book is unavailable in the entire universe, known or otherwise) Get your TOTALLY FREE copy now! Click here!!!"

The way this should really read is. "Give us your name, address, city, state, zip code, home phone #, work phone #, fax #, every e- mail address you have ever used, your wife's name, and measurements, (who knows we may have a FREE Offer just for her) what kind of car you drive, and where you keep your spare set of keys. We'll only send you 11 e-mails per day, 12 on holidays. But you must understand we don't control how many e-mails you'll receive from the 1,147,152 marketers we'll sell your address to.

For this very modest concession you'll receive TOTALLY FREE a worthless 5 page e-book containing links you can find with any decent search resource and the correct search words in less than 5 minutes..

This may be a bit tongue in cheek, but it's really not far off the mark the way some of these so-called professional marketers operate.

Here's to putting the "F" word back into our vocabulary to mean AT NO COST WHAT-SO-EVER MONETARY OR OTHERWISE!!!

"Your Success Is Our Success"
