Mal gave me a pack of smokes to be his friend on Facebook

[Kevin-VirtualProfitCenter]

So I got this private message from Mal today. Said he was lonely and wanted to boost his ego by getting more Facebook friends. He offered me a pack of smokes to be his Facebook BFF. Even though I only smoke Cuban cigars, I felt sorry for him so I said "yes."

So I was over checking out his Facebook profile to see if he had any pictures of hot women (he didn't) when I came across a link to his blog.

In general I don't like blogs. They are almost always poorly written, self-indulgent, myopic narratives about the fecal peculiarities of "Sir Boots McKitten" the "most adorable feline on the planet."

But I do like making fun of people so I went over to Mal's pool of Narcissus hoping to find some embarrassing fodder to use either as blackmail or comedy.

Instead, I find this:

PPC Classroom Is A CompleteJoke - PPC Classroom Is A Joke - Your Internets

Understand, I wanted to poke fun. I wanted to get my jollies at Mal's expense.

But instead of finding something I could use to exercise my rapier wit, I found one of the best examples of blog advertorial posts I have ever seen. I almost bought the product. Again. Even though I not only own the super-deluxe version, I have lunch with Perry Marshall at least twice a week. (We are so close we took separate vacations this year.)

Everyone go now and read the freakin' post. You will see what I mean.

Just one question, were those smokes real or virtual?

We don't call them "smokes" Downunder. We call them "fags". True story.

So do we in the UK.

I wasn't sure Kevin would understand that. :-)

That's an impressive post. Made me wanna buy it too LOL (I already own it). There's a reason he's a high priced copywriter.
