Have their weight lose benefits ever been reported on? What about those 3 dollar teeth whitening claims I’ve seen? Do those work at all?
What about stay at home moms who make 85-90 grand a year by doing vaugely pyramid scheme like multi level marketing?
And why dfoes a website and a noted columnist with 30 plus years under his belt in debunking urban legends, setting facts straight and general disposing of ignorance allow these kinds of ads to run? Does he not care, does he need the cash that bad?
Nope. Like the fictional Santa Claus, the fictional Cecil has real humans to fill in for him. Although it’s admittedly unlikely that your parents write the columns.
Meh. Regardless of whether Cecil Adams is real, or really named Cecile, the recession certainly is. Besides, the cash goes to a good cause, so I can’t kick about it too much.
You can avoid the ads by subscribing as a member. It is part of Cecil’s intelligence testing – smart folks can either ignore the nonsense or pay a small fee to have it removed. Other folks read the ads and help pay for the site that way.
And Cecil really doesn’t “need the cash that bad,” but the Chicago Reader does.
Look, just because the guy who writes the columns doesn’t have “Cecil Adams” on his driver’s license doesn’t mean he’s fictional. Was Ann Landers a fictional character?
It was just a humorous comment I made before this thread was moved to ATMB, a place almost completely devoid of humor. It’s not like I asked to see Cecil’s birth certificate, which I am sure must be some buggered up thing from Hawaii.
Those with thin skin about the statement should apply a lotion containing aloe vera, and watch the ads on the page switch from berries to selling aloe vera, aloe vera lotions.
