Funnily, I just heard a story about Real World newspapers the other day. A guy was trying to lessen his reading intake, and thus unsubscribed from the daily delivery. They've been calling him back for the past month, first offering him the whole week for just the cost of the Sunday issue (2.50US), and then again for HALF the cost of the Sunday issue. As you've said, they solely wanted to keep him as a subscriber for their own statistical integrity with their advertisers. --[[User:Morbus Iff|Morbus Iff]] 20:44, 18 Oct 2004 (EDT) | Funnily, I just heard a story about Real World newspapers the other day.

It's certainly explainable that Windsor waved ''down'' upon the gardener, but there's no way said foliager would know that they were enjoying brownies, not when they're six floors up. --[[User:Morbus Iff|Morbus Iff]] 20:44, 18 Oct 2004 (EDT) |

"this would obviously lead to the immediate loss of advertising revenue, so it cannot be done" - Heh! Funniest paragraph yet. --Sean B. Palmer 05:14, 16 Oct 2004 (EDT) (Blammo!)
Thank you! (The "Blammo!" above is Sean's doing, not mine, BTW.) What's even funnier is that this is equally true of Real World newspapers. --Jcowan 02:16, 17 Oct 2004 (EDT)
