Hand Shakes Still Mean Something and Pepsi S-diddly-ucks
07:50, July 11th, 2007 by gfuss | Posted in Gabbing Gfuss, opinionRemember the good ol’ days, when a hand shake was strong enough to close a sale or get a loan? Don’t worry, I don’t either. But it is something I do each time I want to use the Internet. Yes, I ‘dial-up’ using my POTS (plain old telphone service) copper line to connect to a company that pays for a faster really, really, bigger connection to the world. I pay for a small amount of that connection and they make out like bandits as more and more people pay for his or her portion of this larger connection. It is good enough for me? That’s a big negative whilst trying to enter Coke Rewards at mycokerewards.com. Whoever thought websites that consist of a giant flash movie were cool should be shot. First, with several rubber bullets to break his or her ribs and such, and then with a tazer followed by a harpoon gun and then maybe a real gun.* It takes me almost 10 minutes to enter 1 reward. For what? A piece of clothing to advertise for Coca-Cola? You bet. Death to Pepsi and all that it stands for. Amen.
