Are you watching the Superbowl?
Every commercial break has at least one add for some new website called Mlife.com. No details about the site, just sort of "teaser spots" in order to get people to come to their site and check it out. Unfortunately, the site can not be found... they must have totally crashed their server.
Now, *somewhere*, there's a guy who decided to sink all his cash in to this .com industry, even though the .com revolution is over and done. He knew that a lot of people had lost *everything* trying to make .com's work, but he thought he knew better. "We'll buy zillions of adds during the Superbowl" he said to his investors. "We'll make MILLIONS!"
And now you *know* that, 15 minutes in to the superbowl and about $16 million in debt for advertising alone, he's crying. I feel sad, but also amused... does that make me a bad person?
