Every day there are a number of routine tasks I have to perform. Among them: (i) review of affiliate applications, (ii) response to emails, and (iii) review of blog comments that have queued up in the moderation queue of this blog.
Every day among the good ones, there are also bad and silly ones. Today my cup has finally overflown, and I’ve decided to show some of these “masterpieces” to everyone.
And winners are…….. [drum roll here…….]

I love the “Hopeless Affiliate Application” – I’ve seen a ton of these over the course of my career, as well. Sometimes we just have to shake our heads, at what motivates these folks. But hey, I guess we could give them E for Effort…
You think I should, Liz?
It certainly was one of the funnier affiliate applications I have ever seen. Maybe an E for Entertainment would be more appropriate though. 🙂
