      May be it wasn't a mistake. Doing this "mistake" is bringing attention to them. Bringing atttention to a business is the entire point of advertising. It's not that complicated.
      So I've gone completely slack-ass and haven't done any work on creating games. =(

      In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.

      So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
      And I write the blog for their website.

      Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O

        Perhaps, but then why didn't they just make the ad:
        "HAVE SEX WITH OUR HAMBURGERS RIGHT NOW!"

        That would draw a lot more attention.

          Of course a business wants attention brought to them in a positive light. McDonald's just show a commercial saying "HEY EVERYONE! WE NOW SERVER OUR BURGERS WITH RAT POISON IN THEM!" Sure, this would definatly get a lot of attention. But they don't exactly want to have publicity in a situation like this.

            @Afrobean: Because "I'd hit it" sounds more hip. Being hip = more sales.

            @Freak: Well of course, but that's just taking it too far. You know what I mean, man. Controversy increases sales, and we all know it.

              I didn't say that. I smell plagerism.

                      Super-Size-Me was disgusting but drove the fact deeper into my head. "Those corporate bastards!" They are probably too rich and desperate to care.

                        Freak, jake posted that on page 1. It didn't work right though. I think hotlinking killed it. I've taken the liberty of hosting it at photobucket.
