I have seen spam for free credit reports, viagra, penis enlargements, medication, loans, porn, Ipods and about anything else possible, but never for a Bible. If you click to recieve for the Bible, I wondered if there were strings attatched like there is with other spam. After all, it should be different, it is for a Bible. Being the curious person I am, I decided to find out. I clicked on it.
I had to enter my information, so I entered some stuff. I then proceeded to have to see 1 million advertisements telling me about some great offer. I had to click yes or no to all of them. I get to the end, and they tell me the Bible is mine! All I have to do is pay the 4.95 shipping and handling. I think that the kicker in this is that they are not just using the Bible as an outlet for advertisement but they actually advertise that it comes with a page that explains the plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. So you do all this to get you free Gideon-type Bible and a page. At least it is a King James Bible, because everybody knows that is what the apostle paul preached out of. Oh wait... not really. If you go into any church and say I have no Bible and I want to hear about Jesus Christ, chances are you will get presented with an assortment of Bibles to choose from and a REAL person will tell you about Jesus Christ. Alright. That is all I wanted to say. I just thought it was a funny advertisement.
Now, on to the 80s:
I will give you just one again since I had other stuff to say.
16. You made your mom buy one of those clips that would hold your shirt in a knot on the side.
*This was a cool thing to do. I do believe that it is still kind of cool with the kids. (Maybe not so much a not on the side, but in the back) Limited Too sold clips and stuff when I worked there.

I lost the link now, but there was a "get saved" website that was also offering a chance to win a Hummer H2 when you clicked on the "I prayed the prayer" button. Ridiculous.
LOL! that's so frickin hilarious! i'd say "i can't believe it" but that would be a crock of poo.
I will give you a bible for free. (No S&H, either) hahahahahaha.
This is the sort of thing that makes people skeptical about Christianity.
The old, "Put your hands on the TV screen, say the prayer, and send your $20.00 to be saved."
You DO realize that it costs way less than $4.95 to ship a bible to most places. They are probably still making a couple bucks off of it.
Grrrrr.
