Fox Shill

In every sub forum someone trying to pimp the Season 4 Buffy set. Doesn't this mark like, the 20th time we've see a shill from Fox?

The mods are aware.

Fox has been experimenting with online street teams, and my guess would be that this particular user is promoting the Buffy set as part of that.

How can someone be that stupid? Hell, I could be a flawless shill for only $200/week (you hear me fox?). I mean seriously, every time someone comes to hump a product, they post like a retard and are totally transparent.

Certainly, advertising a product with a sucky price doesn't make things easy, but they could at least take some pride in their work. Instead, they just piss everyone off.

I'm sure they don't care. Just like email spam and snail mail spam, they bombard a large group in hopes of getting a very small amount of response. 98% of the people won't care, but if they can catch that other 2% from here or the countless other sites this jerkwad spammed, it's probably worth it to them.

You're right, Bushdog. Someone who has never had ties to the administration, yet commands respect. Someone who has successfully thrown the administration off guard by joking around about shilling, let's say - potato chips. Such a person's rate would probably be very reasonable, too.

Too bad that idea wouldn't work for you.

Such a person needs an agent who gets 30%.

Difference is, the web site is paid to promote adultdvdempire. Advertising is why this site is free for your use.
