We have a local on-line site for classified type adds. I just found the following ad:
Hello,I'm a representivtive for the jerry springer show. Would you like a free trip to chicago all expenses paid? All you have to have is an unuasal storie to tell on national tv.I offer free airfair limo service from the airport reumbersment for gas to the airport and time taken off work.Free food we will take you out on the town on us and give you all the cigarettes you can smoke.The only thing we dont take care of is alchohol. This an offer you wont get by directly calling the show. So come on live allittle get wild with us. Thank you
This strikes me as being suspicious. For one thing they are claiming to represent a nationally syndicated television show, yet they can't write or spell. Being on the internet might excuse not capitalizing Jerry Springer Show and Chicago, but the spacing is bad, there are run on sentences and look at the spelling. They misspell representative, unusual, story, reimbursement, alcohol, won't, don't, a little. How professional does that look? Oh and commas, God gave us commas for a reason, learn to use them. Of course, we are talking about the Springer show. Perhaps professionalism, good grammar, and the Springer show are all mutually exclusive.
