The Devils Advocate or No Voice At All Business Wire has made a grave error. The Popiel Pocket Fisherman, Men in dresses, cats in hats, Dr. Seuss, the Webnode3, the lack of any voice offering anything even close to clarity for the endeavor they have undertaken, the wealth of attention they have managed to generate and the publicity, and this is just the beginning, this is a good thing. Black helicopters have been seen and the missing webnodes must be located. Get on your funphones, use the GPS system. The treasure hunt is on. We could use a bunch more of those coffee shop members right now, the kind that scream repent would be nice, maybe some other new members who are familiar with Bob. Maybe to maintain the level of interest, they could sue someone else, perhaps in lieu of suing them, they could be enjoined. Everybody likes that. We could use the keen legal mind of Viper Chick, or maybe lance b's wife would sit in. Jenna might drop by and make a few comments, I did her a favour once, you never know. A certain truck driver we all know has been seen here (turnips anyone) and other ancient survivors like Boobacher. What is really clear, to me anyways, is I I I Wouldn't want to be that entity Really It does make excellent PR Kinda like that kid on Ebay, only not as favorable, for Bidness Wire that is. One might ask WHY ? Try here, maybe they have it covered mailto:info@businesswire.com
