    Time Event
    1:22p
    Why, those sneaks!
    In the mail today, I got an interesting envelope. On the flap was the name and logo of Bank of America. The front had scuff marks on it in the shape of a credit card, and was boldly emblazoned with the words "DO NOT FOLD". Way up in the upper left corner was the Visa logo. I thought, hmm, am I due for a new Visa card?

    So I opened it. But there was no card in it. Just a 'pre-approved' credit card offer.

    I looked back at the front of the envelope. I peered veeery closely at those credit-card-shaped scuff marks. They were PRINTED on! They were made up of tiny grey halftone dots!

    Clever job tricking me into opening your come-on, Bank of America. It'll be an even cleverer job if you can figure out some way to make me want to trust you enough now to do business with you.

    Current Mood: cynical
