Tell me how to make money online NOW!

1 Comment

I’ve just had a phone call from some guy who I’ve never met asking me if I can tell him how to make money online. It’s Saturday night, he’s withheld his number and he’s getting angry that I won’t spare my time to tell him how to get rich from the Internet.

For a second I thought this was the Fonejacker, some part of me thinks it maybe, but who knows.

I’ve had emails before from people asking advice on affiliate marketing and if they’re good questions from people who are trying but need help I’ll reply. If they’re just from people asking me how they can make money I don’t. When I get a phone call from some moron demanding to know how to make money…

Anyhow, listen to this idiot and the crap he comes out with. I missed the beginning of the call, but I recap for you. Then I’ll post the second call where he phoned me back and my drunken Stoke house mate got involved. He wasn’t as tolerant as I was.

Transformers don’t kill people, Americans do

I just heard on Sky news that there’s another public outcry trying to stop children playing with toy guns. The BBC takes a different slant on it, saying the British Government are in favour of boys playing with toy guns.

In guidance for nurseries in England, the Department for Children, Schools and Families says staff should resist a “natural instinct” to stop such play.

This has often been a source for annoyance to me, especially after the USA stopped selling the Transformer Megatron when he was reissued by Takara in Japan. The Americans don’t like the idea that Megatron is a realistic replica of a gun, a Walther PPK to be precise, yet in the stores that won’t sell Megatron in America you can actually buy a real Walther PPK.

Something’s not right there. What the yanks fail to realise is that nobody in the history of human kind has been shot and killed by a Megatron. You see, he’s a toy. Made of plastic. He turns into a robot. He does not shoot bullets.

Real guns however are not toys. They are not made of plastic. They do not turn into robots. They shoot bullets.

I’d suggest that America doesn’t ban Transformers, but instead concentrates on banning the things that actually kill people… Americans Guns.
