Right… so the penguins are loosing their habitat, so what is the solution? DRINK!
Denial and commerce: it is the American way.
Marisa pointed out this hilarious SPAM FAIL. After registering for free tickets to a concert, she was prompted to pay $25… for “xxxxx” spam. Really. Pay for spam. Though it is so badly mangled that it is unclear if they were selling advertising or selling spam. Overall, total spam FAIL [...]
