I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
It gets funnier, at Bloggerhead today the posting here quotes you Caff, also, I just love the fact that he reveals Lee and Dans last names, dangit (Lee Lockwood and Dan Brooks for those who didn't know), and links to googles cache of the "viral" ad posted under "viral" (that is how you had to navigate to it) on Lee and Dans site. Gotta love it.
More nekked people!
The streaking stunts are funny, but funnier still is how vodaphone insisted they had no idea what the streaker was planning. Yeah sure.
Also funny, that the superbowl GoldenPalace.com streaker was completly ignored since GAWSH there was a nipple on stage during halftime. ;))
I guess regular Verizon users don't read Wired? Who knows.
Anyway, this is one of the dumbest tactics I've heard of as a counter-spam measure. AOL did something similar back in the day.... It's as if managers without the least clue of how the internet works made this decision - and the best part is that they did not inform their customers about it. Wow, that is shit. There are blacklists, greylists and spamassins out there if they want to do it right. But that requires they have someone who knows what the hell they're doing in their employ, and right now I doubt that they do.

repeat after me, that's effed up.
Looks like that second ad is carrying on a Baby Bob tradition, in the CBS sitcom of Babu Bob there is an episode where the baby hits on his mother. Gack! (source jumtheshark.com, I have never seen the sitcom.)
Having worked for a (client) company that sold ringtones and screen-images for phones, I really do think they ripped this believing that they wouldn't get caught. The company I worked for sold pin-up art by Armando Huerta without crediting (nor paying) the artist.
