> Yeah! Somebody should make spam that only tries to entertain us. > some time back i was considering entertainment ads: sitting in a bus in helsinki they have a4-sized ads in the back of every seat, ie in the front of the eyes of everybody sitting in the bus. which must be one of the most offensive analogous ways to advertise in existence. i guess it's a cheap ad space because invariably all the ads were really cheap-made and bad, which added to the pain (like, they were usually medicine or eyeglass ads). somebody rich could play print-ad-robin-hood and start putting blank papers or abstract images etc on top of those. well there probably are / have been such efforts already. can anybody bring me up to date? actually i think the loesje project achieves something of this... everybody's seen them around, right? http://www.loesje.org/ though their stuff is not always any more entertaining/worthy than ads. > >"note my funky mail address, it's becoming extinct" > > Darn! You'll lose the @xmenthemobilegame.com -address too, I suppose? > hmm... i guess domains might be prepaid for for a whole year? so i might have anywhere around between 1-364 days left? i don't think i'll bother to check it with anybody though! that's a very telling address, by they way: someone originally registered "x-men-the-mobile-game.com" and only later was convinced that nobody can remember or type that, so they *also* registered xmenthemobilegame.com, xmenthegame.com, and x-men-the-game.com. (that was back when there was loads of funding... not that it costs too much anyway, but it's still a good sign of the times...) might be one of the most valuable intellectual properties to sell to eg. sony for a ps2 release promo domain when the movie sequel comes out? the 2 domain names with "mobile" excluded, of course...! jani
