Behind The "Work-At-Home" Street Spam Signs

Cockeyed.com has an interesting story of one persons quest to uncover the source behind all this money just waiting to be made, the company behind it (or not behind it for legal reasons), and an oversaturated market." Spam, just another medium.

    i personally havent seen any illegal ads for dianetics. Since I am reading the book now, i would be interested in seeing posted ads like that, tear them down and toss them out.

    and dianetics is a book that so called bilks you out of $8 (of course you are getting something material for that price), scientology on the other hand is just what you said.

    Its like claiming the Bible is bad because the KKK uses it. Or the koran is bad because extremist muslims use it.

    Anybody remember those 'Where do you want to go today?' billboards? It has a picture of the little hand icon pointing to the 'START' menu.

    Somebody shifted the index finger to the right one digit. Heh.

    Maybe that's the trick to putting a stop to those signs. When you see a sign that says 'Lose 30 pounds' write a caption under it that says '(English Pounds are worth 2 American Dollars)'
