HAS ADVERTISING GONE TOO FAR?

HAS ADVERTISING GONE TOO FAR?

[+] ballot by MO_
created Fri May 14, 04
We ordered Chinese food last night. It was ordered from a new place called "Chinese Too", who's menu states, Robin Leach's "Life Style of the Rich and Famous" favorite, New York Style, Chinese, Szechwan cooking. Chinese food, specializ ing in Szechwan, New York Style, English man recommend ed being served in Southern Cali fornia, can't get much more diverse than that.
Anyhow, here's the kicker... I cracked open a fortune cookie, the fortune read "You have the makings of a winner". I turned it over and there's a fricking add, YES, an advertise ment on a fortune cookie fortune. It reads,
"Holly wood "Pitch N' Win" @ TVBUZZ dot com.
Do you have the next "Million aire" hit"?
Pitch your TV show idea to 3 TV execs in Holly wood.
Enter @ TVBuzz dot com, Fortune cookie advertising dot com.

Is this going too far? What happen to good ole cheezy fortun es? Where should the line be drawn? Why the hell can't I use words on this web sight longer than 7 or 8 charac ters without break ing up the word w/ spaces, or I get an error message, saying "Sorry, your words are too long"? WTF!

Yes
No
Complain to the web address.
Order from somewhere else.

Just in case, the lucky numbers on the fortune are, 14 25 31 33 47, 10. I don't know why the 10 is commaed off either, is that number a special number?

Down here we have a fantasy five and a lotto. Fantasy is five numbers, hence the name, lotto is six. Mo, maybe they're giving you both numbers..
