Sam : that kinda takes the fun out of things
MSN contact : oh I’m sorry. Return to your cave with your charcoal drawings /scowl. Moving forward your consumer rant emails may actually get more traction
Sam : if I send them to the right place?
MSN contact : pithy, humourous, succinct emails may be better received from CEO’s than stern, downtrodden, uncaring ‘Help Desks’. “Give this man free stuff.”
Sam : this is a valid point
MSN contact : “You there, marketing people, make a spectacle of this. Shower him in our love, money and swag.”
Sam : while I’m not in it for the swag, your suggestion has merit
MSN contact : “Free cartons of smokes, free clothes, gift vouchers, et al and you just need to sign here and have your picture taken (please smile). Thank you.”
MSN contact : /hand.shake
MSN contact : /wash.hand
