I couldn’t reach my real camera so all I have is this crappy cell phone picture. I saw this guy on the freeway coming home from Orem today. On the back of his truck it says (written in poop) “I have cancer, Obama scares me, 7-5-08“. This had to be a joke and I assumed some teenager would be driving this beat up Toyota. I was wrong, it was an older guy most likely in his mid 60’s and had little American flags taped to the side of the doors.
I would like to know this, old man. Are you trying to say to me that black people in general are scary? What does your cancer have to do with you being scared of black people? Why did you need to write it on the back of your Toyota.. In poop..
Did anyone else catch the memo that Wal-mart changed their logo? Apparently they also dropped the hyphen and got rid of that annoying bouncing happy face. Their new snow flake looking logo reminds me of Apple for some reason. I think they are trying to turn over a new leaf.
Every time I think of the old Walmart logo I would associate it with white trashieness. Dropping the hyphen made it so much easier on the eyes. Now instead of saying “Wal—-mart” (actually I think it’s just how people talk around here), you gotta say it all one word, superfast, like “Wamar!”.
All this talk about Walmart made me want to go to their site and see the new logo in action. Yeah, It looks great, right below the Classmates.com ad and just above the Sylvan Learning Center ad. I guess they are catering to the crowd that would buy things at Walmart. “Hey Cleatus! Get them fourteen kids in the Dodge Caravan! We just got a smokin’ deal at Sylvan Learning center! Walmart’s got discounts! DISCOUNTS!”
I thought maybe I was missing something. Like all retail stores now days advertise on their page. So I went and checked a couple. Here is what I found:
Advertisements
Feeling a little greedy anyone?
I don’t mind ad’s on free services. But when you gotta buy stuff it seems a little ridiculous. So Walmart, what you are trying to tell me here is that you are not making enough money as is, and you have to put advertisements on your page to boost your income? Yeah, I know, you are going to loose out on that extra 200 dollars a month, but It would add a lot more class to your page if you dropped them. Isn’t that what you were trying to do by changing your logo in the first place?
As you may or may not recall, I was trying to sell a bag on Etsy.com. Well it never did end up selling so I finally took it off the other day. I got an email from them saying that I owed them some money for not selling it. That’s understandable, as long as it’s a somewhat fair price. I would much rather not pay anything, but you know what I mean.
When I checked to see exactly how much I owed them, I laughed. A mere twenty cents. That seems like a joke. Ok, Etsy, I will pay this twenty cents with my credit card.. This is what I saw.
Thanks for making it really easy on me. If your going to be charging 20 cents to people you may want to have ways to be able to pay it. I guess I will have to just send a post card with two dimes taped to it. The front will read “Ski Utah!”.
