I, Lonnie ("poppalon") Dayton, was born New Years Day -- a Cherokee-German-Irish AMERICAN. During my youth, I hunted peccary ("WILD PIGS"), played the sax-clarinet-guitar, semi-pro baseball, and joined the United States Air Force. After serving 2 Vietnam tours and coming back to the "world", I taught Electronics 'til sparks flew out my (expletive deleted), won the Mississippi State Bowling Championship, NY King of the Hill Championship, got a degree and started my own business.
One of my brothers was a Marine, one a Navy Seal, and the lucky one was married with kids and exempt from service. My two Nam tours were spent dropping bombs, frying elephants, and launching radar-controlled "drone" aircraft against our "alleged" Laotian-Cambodian-Vietnamese enemies. My Austrian wife and I have three wonderful children, three wonderful grandchildren, started DOD (Direct Outlet Distributors) in 1981, and went on line in 1999. Since then, I have spent most of the last eight years busily hunting down the herds of "WILD-EYED INTERNET PIGS" and exposing their no-holds-barred, unethical, bald-faced lies and low down DIRTY TRICKS TO GET FREE ADVERTISING, by screwing their own affiliates with affiliate program "scams".
(Just like Bush told WMD lies to get power, by screwing our own military with yet another VIETNAM.)
THE TRUTH needs no hype. The more HYPE you see, the more suspicious you should be. Samuel Spade defined "pigs" in "The Maltese Falcon": "The cheaper the CROOK, the gaudier the batter". What was true in 1941 is still true: The more HYPE you see, the more suspicious you should be. Examples:
- PIGS offer free downloads with ZDS programs (Zombies-Drones-Spies) that secretly TRANSMIT ADS from your computer when you go on line (NOTE: If your computer runs slow, it may be "bugged" already).
- PIGS offer free links 'n stats and say you'll get rich; then, compete against you in the engines, give you "questionable" stats to verify your checks (if any), and use your webpage for FREE ADVERTISING!
- PIGS offer low prices but withhold shipping costs until after you've entered your address and credit card data; then, the shipping costs blow your socks off! They sell your data to the "highest corporate bidder" and your mailbox is bombarded with UNSOLICITED E-MAIL ADVERTISEMENTS.
- PIGS
promise FREE merchandise; then, once you join, make you earn X-number of "credits, cash, or points" to qualify for that FREE merchandise (meanwhile, you are broadcasting FREE ADS for them).
- PIGS advertise "get-rich" affiliate programs; then, hold your commissions until they reach X dollars and keep changing the rules. You ADVERTISE THEIR PRODUCT, seldom get paid, and "they" make money.
- PIGS "freely" post your ads to search engines/directories, if you ADVERTISE THEIR PRODUCT; then you realize the engines don't exist, exist in "fantasy land", or target people who "no speaky de English".
- PIGS offer HUGE commissions for PUTTING THEIR AD ON YOUR SITE; then, you discover that their "cookies" (text files put on customer computers saying they came from YOUR website) only last for
ONE DAY! If they buy something later, YOU GET SCREWED and, again, "they" keep the PROFITS.
I, poppalon, advertise the TRUTH without all the PIG TRICKS. Please, come back often because things do change so very quickly (so many lies, so little time) and REMEMBER THIS UNIVERSAL TRUISM:
"Life is SHORT, filled with LIES, and only the TRUTH sets you FREE." |
