Dude, what's your problem? You need to get a life. Why don't you come over to my house and I'll show you just how defensive I get. I get really pissed at you people that type up stuff on message boards and piss people off because you can't be punished for what you do. I guess you do it because it's your way of "getting back at the world" because you were made fun of or something like that. You're just a punk kid that thinks you're awesome because you piss so many people off. To put it in your own words, "I just hope you dont try this shit in the real world."
As for being unprofessional, what do you think you watch when you sit in front of the TV? Watch some of those commercials about stuff like shampoo. They shoot the entire commercial inside a shower! What we did was much more tasteful than that. I have two words for you: Sex sells. I sincerely wish that weren't true, but it is. As for trying to "buy" you by giving you candy, that was another advertising ploy. Remember the site visits everyone wanted to go on? Everyone wanted to go to places like AMD and Origin, places that give you stuff for free. AMD with shirts, Origin with a game. AMD gets free advertising every time you wear that shirt. It brings up awareness for their product. As for Origin, giving you the game makes you want to pay that $10 a month to play on their servers. That's how UO makes money, not by selling the actual game.
Oh, not sure if you got the subtlety of using a pic of Pam Anderson, but it was because she is a lifeguard. Lifeguards save lives. Our product saves lives. The same goes for the Life Savers. The only reason we passed them out was because of their name, not to buy your vote.
