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..

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.
