Now, I'm just a simple country blogger. Your modern marketing concepts confuse and astound me! But it seems, even to my old-fashioned and no doubt primitive sensibilities, that if you're trying to appeal to bloggers and blog readers, you should conduct your marketing campaign in a manner other than by hiring scumbag spammers to pollute our sites, insult our intelligence and generally infuriate us. Peddling d1sc0unt v1agr4 is one thing, but for a movie, where you're trying to build "buzz" and "word of mouth" about your project, you'd think it would be important for that buzz to be about something other than what a bunch of assholes you are. Just a thought.

Oh, and I hope your pathetic ought-to-be-direct-to-video abomination is out of theaters before the first showing is over. Go to hell.

in the hopes that they're checking their referrers.

on the other hand, I didn't mention the movie's name in order to get the post near the top of google. So: Clerks II! Clerks 2! It's a movie!

Looks like this is part of a contest they're running:

I'd seen the post for that contest but it didn't occur to me that it would result in people leaving comment spam all over the place.

Hmm. I should've known. Argh. Now that my anger is less justified, I'm even more angry.
