free!

I have a separate e-mail address for this blog.  As such, the spam filter gets quite a workout, but other than that, I honestly don't get a lot of incoming mail from it.

Today, I got an e-mail that perked me up a bit [comments in bold mine]:



Hi there - I'm emailing you to find out [zzzzZZZZZzzzz] if you'd be interested in reviewing one of our new silicone female toys [Wait.... what???] from Ladygasm.com  [Ladygasm?  Seriously, that's the name??] on your blog. My idea is this: I can send you a free Ladygasm Cici or comparable toy (you can Google it) [ you bet I did], and in exchange, you'd just write a review giving your honest thoughts about the toy, and of course somewhere in the article, link to our website or Amazon listings of the toys. [Of course!]

If this project goes smoothly [*snicker*], there are probably other ways we could work together as well [Mmmm...Hmmmm]. My goal is to let people know about our new brand while providing you with the opportunity to write interesting content for your site. Also, I could give you a personalized discount code to leave in the review (if you like the toy), so that your readers could enjoy the same toy and also save money.

So, just email me back and we can get started. I'm happy to answer any questions you have.

Thanks!

Uhm... well.   So....

Naturally, my first inclination was to send it straight to the delete pile.  When I googled it, I was referenced to a ton of video reviews that have been relatively recently uploaded, so it looks like this happy e-mailer has been busy "reaching out".  I gotta say, it's probably not a bad marketing ploy.  The country's had some rough economic times.  People don't go out as much...

I mean, it's free... I'm sure I could handle a "review".  And actually, Magnum and my anniversary is coming up shortly.  Year 22.


Is that the year for silicone?

Dang! Nothing that exhilarating ever comes into MY email box! Of course, if you go through with it, you'll definitely lose your family rating on this blog! ;-)

That's funny!

Interestingly enough, I had a dream on this subject yesterday. Here's how it went: There is a huge bedroom, and in it a huge bed--so large that dozens of women can fit underneath it. And they are having a sex-toy party. These women are of all ages. And they're having a damned good time, each one getting off on a different sex toy. The only woman I know is Janet--a single woman I've been pursuing for over a decade. Janet is a member of a church singles group that no longer exists. And she is extremely religious. She will not go out with me, because she thinks I'm too young for her. And in the dream, she is the only woman not participating, thus not moaning and groaning and screaming. She is standing elsewhere in the huge bedroom. She's on her cellphone, telling a female friend of hers that she really wants to participate in this sex-toy orgy, but that she doesn't think Jesus would approve. So she's asking her friend, hoping her friend will say it's alright with Jesus!

Not for me to comment! ;-)

You definitely get some of the most interesting spam mail.
I can't wait to hear your unbiased "review". :}

They named a sex toy after ME? Wow.

I don't go check what is automatically sent to spam, maybe I should.

Abby said...

It actually wasn't spam. I think it's a real "opportunity". My spam just keeps trying to hook me up with Christian singles (??)

Abby said...

Yeah, I suppose. Funny to think that just two AAA batteries could start that slippery slope.

Abby said...

Ha, that's funny. I'm picturing Janet: "What would Jesus do?"

Abby said...

That's what I first thought - If it's named CiCi, it's gotta be good!

Abby said...

Smart man.

Rock Chef said...

Now wondering if the story about CiCi's old blog being hijacked is just a story now! I mean! :-)

Christian singles? Now that is one interesting demographic you have there. I keep trying to picture the christian singles/extreme crossing guard/avid runner combination.

So.... how 'bout them Cardinals (or Rockies)......

LL Cool Joe said...

Being a Christian single, okay I'm not single, I'm not going to comment. I think that's safer don't you?
