Breaking Dawn  

Posted by: Nerd E. Librarian in , ,

Hmm. I don't know if I've become biased against Twilight because it became so popular... or the naysayers out there got to me... But I am not enjoying Breaking Dawn very much. For about 50 pages I was thinking: This is dumb and pointless fluff. Or perhaps I'm just cranky and in a bad mood right now. I'm not sure. Perhaps it will pick up. Things have gotten less happy and are a bit more serious. Problem is I know why because someone spoiled it for me. I just started Book 2 with Jacob. And I stopped there for now. I got a little disinterested. I'll pick it back up later.

(I still have yet to see the last 45 minutes of the Twilight movie)

Hmm, new online sales tricks?

I think I'm seeing a new trend in seller tricks and scams. Trying to trick the not so savy people who use the internet...

And using the trend in blogging to do it. They make a blog look like someones personal entries, with (what IU think) is some fake responses to fool people into thinking a real person lost weight, or got whiter teeth.. etc. I've seen a few of these kinds of things already where the person is all "THIS IS GREAT! It worked for me!Q Here is where you can buy it!"

I saw an add. I clicked on it. I went here: http://jennysdietblog.com/?ID=ADBR-cJBRON-g1-d3002

So, yeah... not everyone has professional before and after photos. I'd just use my digital camera with my messy house in the back ground ^_^

Its a shame... but people will buy it. Taking advantage of the masses is how money is made.

Pirates! Arrrr!
