Media Matrix & Pop Kulture

I am glad I live in Tampa? 30daysexchallenge.com

I heard about this last week on tbt.com but now it seems like the national media has sunk their teeth into this juicy little marketing ploy by who? A church, no way, it has to be some kind of misprint, right? Be a resident of Tampa, at least for now, I have seen these signs and the billboard throughout the city. At first you think that it has to be a joke, but then you realize that it is a church that is obvisouly trying to get more people to attend.

Here’s the rub, if your married you can have sex with your partner for 30 days, everyday! But if your single or not married but in a relationship you cannot. Try the site if you can but when I checked it was overloaded with this message.

The Dangers of E-bills

February 19, 2008 · Leave a Comment

For some who have experienced E-bills it is a double-edge sword. Yes, it is extremely convenient, until you forget to make your monthly payment. This seems to be a great tactic for credit card companies, for several reasons.

  1. It makes the consumer feel like they are helping reduce waste (you are)
  2. You save the company a small fortune in paper, ink, manpower, mailing fees, etc.
  3. The chances of you forgeting to make a payment since the email may get lost in your inbox increase exponentially
  4. You forget to make a payment because the old paper bill doesn’t come around here anymore
  5. You miss a payment and they can nail you with a late fee that may be more than your minimum due and/or raise your APR

The list could go on, but I have to stop myself.
