spammy comments

A little while ago, a very entertaining spam comment was trapped by my spam filter. Today I would like to publish another spam comment that was left on my blog recently. Here it is!:

lol many of the opinions individuals write are such stoner remarks, every now and then i ponder if they truly read the pieces and content before posting or whether they simply skim the post title and prepare only the first thought that comes to mind. in any case, it really is nice to browse keen commentary now and then in contrast to the very same, outdated post vomit which i continually notice on the web i’m going to enjoy a couple of hands of facebook poker hasta la vista

So there it is. If I get any more that happen to catch my eye, I might just post them too!

Four Leaf CloverHappy St. Patrick’s Day From iMark Communications!

If you are in the Toronto area and looking for some fun Toronto St. Patrick’s Day events and happenings . Please click visit one of our client blogs, Backpackers On Dundas.

With a relatively small staff, iMark has managed to build a solid reputation for high quality ghost and corporate blogging services. Word has gotten around and we are now in need of adding to our team. We started our search last week and have been screening applicants based on their technical writing skills, personality, and versatility of style. Our search has been much more fruitful than we expected, especially considering the short time frame with which we have been working. In fact, we have even received applicants who are able to blog in French (French Canadian) and Spanish. Up until now we have been writing our blog posts in English and translating to the target language. This will help de-stress the process on our end!

We would very much like our new bloggers feel that they are part of the iMark team even though they will most likely be working remotely. Please expect some bloggers other than Around the Web Wednesday Bryan and myself, the Advertising Junkie, to be posting to the iMark blog.

gross finger handsSince this will never happen, we need new bloggers.

Here’s some guy in a chicken suit that thought it would be funny to interrupt a chemistry lecture. The professor did a pretty good job holding back until the idiot let the joke go on a bit too long and decided that he’d had enough. I’m not surprised that the prof got the guy in the end; chemistry profs tend to be spry and a little (by which I mean a lot) crazy.

We would like to dedicate this blog post to a few new Toronto web design and print design clients:
Metzlife in Toronto

Metzlife.com. Metzlife is a brand new Toronto based company dedicated to health and fitness. The interesting thing about this project for us is that it is a WordPress hosted website. This of course means that owner Michelle can update entries on each page, upload video and add photos without having paid for an expensive CMS program or to contact us.

Make sure to check out Michelle’s brand new WordPress hosted website.

toronto mechanic business card designToronto based traveling mechanic Mark Ellis contacted us to create a compelling logo and business card design for LM Auto Tech. Mark specializes in Truck and Coach mechanics but is able to assess and work on most any engine or mechanical issue.  We incorporated a check engine light when we created his logo and business card design. Need to contact him? Leave a comment on this post; I am sure he will read it! ;)

cricket club logo design, TorontoOn the topic of logo designs, This Toronto based cricket club asked us to incorporate their existing image to create a logo. This logo design will be embroidered on their team uniforms, which we think is pretty cool. They have told us they will send a photo of the embroidered logo. If we get it, we will definitely show you both this image and the embroidery side by side in a separate post.

Iterazia Offshore Software DevelopmentThis next web design project is not actually a Toronto client but we like his new website and his accompanying blog  so much that we are including Iterazia Corporation in this post. Iterazia offers offshore software development services to North America. If you need to Outsource IT projects, contact Iterazia.

Here’s a cool looking advertisement video from Pedigree shot with a crazy amount of slow motion. I just love how happy and excited the dogs look while getting a treat. I feel pretty much the same way about getting a treat, and I move at about the same speed as well.

Why breaking it off with social media is like breaking up with a boyfriend / girlfriend:

1. You broke it off because Social Media was  monopolizing all of your time, distracting you even while you were at work.

2. You feel like you shared TMI too soon. Before your first date was over, you had already been pressured to give up wayyy too much personal information about yourself. And that stuff is out there. You can’t take it back. Even though you pretended to be cool about it, it was always in the back of your mind.

3. This is the 12th time you have sworn off Social Media this month. Your friends have started to make fun of your on again off again relationship.

4. Once you call it quits, you:

A) Spend time obsessing over what is being said about you in your absence.

B) Secretly want Social Media to not move on without you even though you were the one to break it off.

C) Want all your friends to quit hanging out with Social Media as a show of loyalty towards you, their real friend.

5. The only reason you stuck it our for as long as you did is because your friends and family are so crazy about Social Media. In fact you are suspicious that they like social media better than you. But that’s crazy, right? (see point 4.C)

Social Media Funny

Similar to when the Muppets covered Bohemian Rhapsody, Beaker tries to cover Kansas’ Dust in the Wind. However, he has some problems with some pushy Youtube commentors. Poor guy, he’s just trying to express his art.
