This is really funny to me, do you think ***** would do something like that?

Maybe they will put something in the box from Dollar Tree store? :emlaugh:

There is no way thats real, there is not a marketing person alive who would think that was actually a good idea.... well i guess it is *****, maybe i stand corrected

I want to see the picture of the look on her face after she opens that package... :D

Sure we all joke about "Give the gift of hosting this season" but no-one actually advertises it! I guess Chris is just feeling festive

Me thinks she'd rather have something that sparkles, but I'll test it on the wife and see how it goes over. :D

Chicken,

I was thinking the same.. she has that look of *necklace*

But sure, try it on your wife.. Just remember to get a pic of the big-ass red handprint on the side of your head when she opens it to find a biz app :D

disclaimer: I did get my fiancee' a domain name as part of her birthday present haul last year. That did impress her though.. she's a geek. :) But of course she got shiny things too.

Well it is a real ad, but let's all keep in mind that the last popup ***** had on their site was a refugee special because they were one of the only ones <sarcasm> smart enough </sarcasm> to protect their servers against NIMDA.


...Not a very good idea...But then, not a very good company either.

Someone can get that for me for x-mas... but not from *****... LOL

I doubt I'll get much for x-mas this year... can't afford it right now.. We'll get something for my son, that's about it...

The only chance I'll get something for x-mas would be if my parents or my inlaws sent us something...

X-mas sucks when you're broke beyond belief....
