Great Deals from Falcon Travel and Silverarm Solutions? Who Knows!

Normally I get a bit irate at spamming bastards from hell, but this one made me laugh. In my INBOX from Silverarm Solutions on behalf of Falcon Travel:

So not only are you niaive enough to think that spamming me will work, you are actually stupid enough to think I’ll click through to read more spam!?

Now I send email campaigns out and when I do I send them from my own domain. I don’t hide behind a .info domain in case someone blacklists me. However I am a tad more responsible than these stupid fuckers, so perhaps I shouldn’t comment.

By the way, check out what Silverarm Solutions are charging Falcon Travel for this “service”!!!

To Falcon Travel: If you would like to put a comment on this post and let us know what great deals you actually have we will give you the advertising for free. Just please don’t give my email address away to snake oil merchants!

Now you would think that you would watch out for stuff like this if you were going to have hyped-up product launch…

Recession turns Limerick village into Father Ted set

The Holy Stump of Rathkeale discovered!

The Holy Stump of Rathkeale

Straight out of a Father Ted script, people in Rathkeale, Co. Limerick are now worshiping a tree stump.

According to a local interviewed on ‘Morning Ireland’ this morning, over 400 people spent up to 2am praying at the stump, which, according to local shopkeeper Séamus Hogan:

“shows a clear outline of Our Lady”.

He goes on to say

“…it’s bringing people together from young and old to black and white, Protestant and Catholic, to say a few prayers…”

Worshiping tree stumps…? Protestants praying at an apparition of the virgin Mary…? (Have I missed something or has Mary snuck into the Church of Ireland?)

Brian Cowan must be pretty pleased – this will at least distract people from the utter bollix his party has made of the country (at least in Rathkeale). They must be pissing themselves Europe!

Contact Séamus Hogan, 20 St. Mary’s Park, Rathkeale, Co. Limerick to sign the petition to save the Holy Stump of Rathkeale (over 2,000 signatures as off this morning!)

God Hates Ireland

spongepantssquarebob — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 14:13:08 +0000

Brought to you by Fred Phelps enlightened and liberal pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church we now have GodHatesIreland.com. (Sorry about the lack of a link there, but I’m not helping this asshole with his search engine rankings!) On second thoughts, fuck him, maybe Fred reads his web server logs and will see the referral from GoAskMeBollix: www.GodHatesIreland.com.

In case you missed some of his previous enlightening webshites (sic), check out:

Trust Australian Charles Firth to give these guys the respect they deserve.

Pity that some quick thinking spark has registered www.GodHatesAustralia.com thus saving our intrepid reporter from the wrath of the Phelps family.

Don’t worry Fred, plenty of other countries left to hate. I’ve taken the liberty of checking a few domains for you and available for hating are pretty much every country in the world bar: America, Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Spain and (must be all those fucking penguins) Antarctica – (but you probably already knew that!)
