Don’t Buy: Email Signature Politics

Well it’s almost here! The day when voting happens and campaigning ends! But until November whenever, politicians will continue asking their “friends”, as McCain would say, for money. Well, asking friends for things and trying to get the word out that way smells like a digital campaign in the making!

And luckily for the candidates, that is really easy/really annoying. Introducing the never-dying trend of email signatures! Email Charity cashed in on creating email signatures for fund raising. (If you feel like you must, you can get yours here. )

Now, I don’t know if you remember or had to deal with the “consider the environment” signature, but that was annoying and it was on everything. And when you printed the email, it made it a page longer. Not to mention, the logo that goes with it! It doesn’t make any sense. What is it? A tree-road? That email signature might have had a purpose. And it still sucked. Now you have signature adds on with less of a purpose.

All I want is your number, maybe your name, and sometimes not even that. Don’t drag it out. I don’t care who you are voting for. And if I did, I’d ask. Otherwise, are you really that self-important that you think everyone you correspond with also wants to know?

(lol-cakes!)

The campaigning is getting kind of annoying. I made up my mind who’s gonna win, so has the twitter community. Do you really think seeing a “Country First” banner that slows down an email that says “the report was due yesterday!” is gonna make me want to donate money or change my mind? Do you think you can cash in on Obama’s coolness too?

P.S. see how annoying email banners are? Also, McCain is looking pretty snazzy in his banners. And See my in my office now!

    That road is paved with the bones of librul pussies.
