QUOTE
There is a famous marketing folk tale about misspelling
being used for a marketing advantage involving MCI and AT&T
.
AT&T wanted to counter MCI's highly successful 1-
800-COLLECT
campaign and introduced a coll ect- calling product of its
own. AT&T keeps asking the world to dial 1- 800- CALL- AT T
because AT &T learned firsthand that people often make
obvious spelling mistakes .

AT &T started to advertise its collect- calling servi ce,
and then the number was 1- 800-OPERATOR. That was a
short-lived ad campaign!
It turned out that many Americans can't
spell and were dialing 1- 800- OPERATER by mistake. Well,
wouldn't you know it, some sharp-eyed employee at MCI
noticed, and now, believe it or not, MCI own
1-800-OPERATER!

ENDQUOTE

I wonder what that sharpeyed employee is upto now..did he
make it to a CEO..did he get picked onbeing called the
Spellboy for the rest of his career?..did he go insanelost
his job and gun down his co workers with a tie around his
forehead rambo style yelling I am not the Spellboy!!!

this sorta thing keeps me awake at nights..

dude, they never offer me candy... they're just like "come
here a minute" and i'm like "you're gonna eat me" and
they're like "no.... no no no... we just want to... talk to
you"

AND THATS WHEN I REACHED FOR MY REVOLVER

maybe you are one sexy beast and they really do want to talk
to you...maybe you are too quick with the revolver..but then
again that sort of forbidden love is not every one's kind of
thing...

personally..my rotting teeth are a dead give
away..(heh)...they take one look and then look at
eachother..nodding and saying CANDY..at the same time..

heh heh. memes, the new replicators.
there are even cases, like porn, which exploits our nervous
system's chemical genetic desire to reproduce by providing
false 2-d representations of naked women.
