Sales Genie Owes Me A Fat Check, or a Phat Check at Least.

Well, it only took a few days for us to push the Sales Genie into action. At least that's the way I like to see it. I will have to give it to the folks over at InfoUSA (the parent of the genie) for quickly fixing their firefox problem as well as for paying attention to the blogosphere. I've been seeing some regular visits from their offices in Omaha, so you know, kudos and all that. Listening is step 1.

I'll be waiting for my fat consultancy check...

It should also be noted (as Phil points out) that the piece of shit ad actually worked. They needed 700 new subscribers to break even, and so far they've gotten 10,000. It's a sad day for our profession. I guess they come from the train wreck school of advertising. I hear Cartoon Network is also an alumni.

In a related note, Matt pointed out in the comments that Walmart had a similar firefox problem.

   

Luckily they fixed it, too.

Well, sort of.
