The Bizarre World of Sitepal
Who ever came up with the concept of putting an animated character on a Web site to increase sales probably never realized they were in the process of creating one of the silliest Web apps ever.
Today I ran across an advertisement for Sitepal on some Web site and I got to experience the joy of screwing around with Sitepal for the third time.
If you want to have fun with Sitepal too, I suggest you follow these two links:
To make Sitepal talk – go here. Remember to type in something ridiculous.
To change how the Sitepals look - go here. You can see my transformation of their George W. Bush pal going from regular Bush to Bushy Big Pimpin’.
Have fun, and don't forget to watch your pal's creepy, creepy eyes...

COMplete Technologies would like to introduce you to a new service that would be a great value to your customers. With this service you could offer a personal sales representative to assist in the selling process of each and every listing on your site. This would require no changes to your current web application or database. The life like sales representative would introduce the listing in detail to every potential buyer, stating all pertinent information about the listing, plus other specific information to enhance the sale.
Utilizing our advanced text to speech, Character generating system, the sales representative would be generated on the fly, communicating to your potential customers in real time about specific information pertaining to each listing, with no interaction on the part of your company and staff. This is not pre-programmed information, but rather dynamically generated from the information stored in your current database about that particular listing. Every new listing gets a unique, auto-generated sales presentation available immediately after posting to your web site.
It has been proven that just audio alone can increase your sales by as much as 300%, and with the technology of our service, which combines audio with a visual sales representative, actually speaking the words, this has even more potential to increase your sales.

HAHAHAHA! Wow, my fist sales pitch on this blog! Thanks Mike - sorry I couldn't keep your URLs.
You might want to sound like a human and not a sales catalogue when you are out blog spamming.
Just a friendly tip.
This guy actually reminds me of Karl Benson in the movie "Garden State." You know - the guy who works and Handi-World and tries to talk Andrew and Sam into getting involved in his pyramid scheme.
Anyway, read Mike's post and picture Karl Benson. Great stuff.
And if you have not seen "Garden State," get up off your ass and see it.
