The thing is that I swear in real life and I want my blog to be a more honest representation of me so I'll probably swear in it now. On the other hand I think writing's different to talking in that you can hopefully construct something that has the same impact as a swear word but has possibly more impact due to the restraint. In other words I'll only use the odd swear word.<BR/>Figured we'd be in agreement about the money/rabbit thing, it's cynical and pathetic. One thing I didn't mention is the laziness of it. As an idea it's not terribly clever and wanting money for nothing really bugs me, I hate that 'the world owes me' attitude.paulhdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927319711682494407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-1111407916741333472005-03-21T12:25:00.000+00:002005-03-21T12:25:00.000+00:00Hey... Swear all you like about this guy. The word...Hey... Swear all you like about this guy. The word I'm thinking of rhymes with 'front'... actually 'clucking front'. <BR/><BR/>Thing is, I can't actually see any other point to this scam, other than making the author, who seems to have copped the idea from elsewhere, playing on some people's love of animals to make some money. <BR/><BR/>Cynical, morally bankrupt... <BR/><BR/>But that's OK for some people, because it's only an animal... There is obviously a whole philosphical / ethical debate around the relative status of animals and humans that I don't want to hog space on your blog for... (I'm guessing we'd largely agree on that, anyway, so it seems like preaching to the converted)...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, my two cents.<BR/><BR/>And to be honest 'Give me X(some money/ buy my record etc) or Y(puppy/ kitten / rabbit) gets it' is a tired gag I last saw on an ad for a Victor Lewis Smith CD back in the early 90's<BR/><BR/>(BTW Didn't mean to sound censorious or anything about the curse words. I just dug that you had a credo and tried to stick with it.)Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783924982506695153noreply@blogger.com
