New WebWatcher Affiliate Program Denies Old Members

ComputerGeek — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 11:23:20 -08:00

When the WebWatcher Affiliate Program moved from Commission Junction to LinkShare I didn't think much of it since I already had a LinkShare account, but when I applied for the WebWatcher Affiliate Program my application was rejected. Normally I don't mind getting rejected from an affiliate program, but since I did take the time to write an original description of their product I am not happy with this.

ESPN Made Me Think That Eddie Murphy Might Be Dead

JockHead — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 01:50:41 -08:00

Bill Simmons at ESPN.com made me think that Eddie Murphy might be dead today when he published an article called "The Career Arc: Eddie Murphy" because the article summary said "the Sports Guy pays his respects to the funniest super-duper star". When I read "pays his respects" I assumed the worst fearing that Eddie was dead and that I had missed hearing about it because I don't watch enough TV and "pays his respects" is usually used in reference to people speaking of the dead at funerals or elsewhere. Fortunately I did a Google search for "Eddie Murphy Dead" and "Eddie Murphy Died" for which I only found results for a hoax story about him dying in a snowboarding accident that never happened. Be more careful ESPN before you start some viral rumor of Eddie not being able to party all the time anymore.

eBay Scammer Gets Owned by Judge Judy

RealityTV — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 05:15:11 -07:00

Judge Judy dropped the hammer on eBay scammer Kelli Filkins for selling pictures of cell phones using ads designed to deliberately mislead the consumer into thinking that they were buying actual cell phones. Filkins was sued on the Judge Judy show by a customer she tricked and didn't take too kindly to paying over $400 for pictures of cell phones. Filkins thought she was smart and defended herself on the grounds that her ad stated that she was selling pictures of cell phones, but forgot about the part where she falsely stated that her product weighed over 4 ounces. In addition to rejecting Filkins's defense on technical grounds Judge Judy also recommended reporting her to the local police, IRS, and child protective services. Don't do business with Kelli Filkins
