TexTango: Possibly the Worst Idea Ever (serve banner ads on your texts, maybe get cash!)
This was just featured on the local news. Wonder how much they paid for that puff piece?

If you send these texts, you "may eventually" get paid one penny to ten cents per message. But you have to put their banner ads on it, which turns it into a MMS (costs more, if applicable i.e. your recipient who doesn't pay for unlimited MMS to send these ridiculous ads) and has the side effect of pissing off anyone you text, and probably getting your number blocked.

1. I might just do this. I've had my eye on a snickers bar down at Walgreens for..
...quite a while. This texting thing could earn me enough to grab that baby.

2. As we devolve in this
corporately-induced nightmare, it will get much, much worse.

You are compelled to buy-in, (they own your media and most of what you need to live/survive) and not going along with what they are finalizing with the Republican politics, will assure that you either will not survive, or that your survival will be something similar to a hellish existence here death is you only liberation. Heck, profit is all that matters, now. Forget your religion or philosophy. Winner takes all!

The vultures fly high now, above all of you.
