Being the esteemed (not really) editor (um, have you seen all the typing errors) of Maine’s 50,583nd most popular blog (actually I think Maine Squirrel Feeders United just moved past us), I get lots of email, mostly from spammers but often from real people with an axe to grind. Sometimes I get amazing advertising “offers,” as well.

I usually just press the delete button, but before I delete this one I want to share it.

Subject: Advertising Interest

Hello,

We’re interested in placing a promotional link on: http://asmainegoeslolz.com/the-cast/mark-t-cenci/ for a website about how to help a drug addict.

If you already have an arrangement or ad rates in mind, We’d be more than glad to hear from you.

Regards,

Note that they say they only want an ad on Mark T. Cenci’s page.

I don’t know of it is a real offer or not, and I wouldn’t do it either way, but a part of me smiled.
