There are many other online companies that do commercials and weird marketing schemes, though not many of them has received such attention like Ask has on this blog. I have to go off topic a little bit and tell you that it's fairly hard to remember that not all of the blog posts are your doing, Mike, seeing as how I started to read the blog long before the other authors came along. Sorry for the confusion. It just seems that the last couple of blog posts regarding their marketing campaign has irked either you or one of your fellow bloggers.
