Not So Subliminal MSN Ad

I don’t use Internet Explorer much (go get yourself a copy of Firefox) but MSN happens to be my homepage for IE. Anyway, I saw this ad for Kohl’s on MSN today and couldn’t help but notice the subliminal messaging.

In reality, Kohl’s just wants you to know that clicking their ad won’t force you away from the MSN page, but at first glance I thought wow that is pushy.

Oxymoron MSN Status

Seriously, this is what you put up as your MSN status?

Another installment of typical Jared/Steve conversations:

Jared: its really coming down out here
Jared: i’m glad i actually beat the snow in
Steve: oh yea? are you going to be snowed in?
Jared: i pray to god we don’t get snowed in
Steve: you could get a lot of quality time with ABC Fire
Steve: and/or your co-workers
Jared: both of which are horrible horrible alternatives
Steve: hahahaha
Steve: I have a perfect storm situation for you:
Jared: ok
Steve: snowed in, no internet, no power
Steve: now you’re reduced to either drawing a deck of cards on some index cards or tossing a ball against the wall
Jared: hahhha
Jared: i draw the cards, that would take a long time
Steve: nah – 15 minutes?
Jared: i’d make it longer!
Jared: draw all the suits like 6 clubs for a 6 of clubs
Steve: you making perfect cards
Steve: oh yea then, you’d have some issues with the J, Q, K
Jared: yea definitely
Jared: i don’t know what they look like off the top of my head
Steve: you could just do stick people
Jared: very true
Steve:

Jared: that is pretty impressive
