Come and Get It!

You know when you do a search on google or any other search engine how the thing you entered in the search field ends up in ads on the right side of the page? Say you were looking for a new set of the Chronicles of Narnia and entered that in the search field. The results page would include things like, "Get the Chronicles of Narnia at Amazon.com. Shop Amazon!" Well, I caught wind of someone having recently performed a search for me on a certain search engine (one that I have never used), so I went to this engine and typed in the same search criteria they did (nothing you ever do on the internet is a secret...keep that in mind). When I hit return, I got this ad on the right side of the page:

Now, don't get me wrong. I appreciate the sentiment. But I resent the implication that I can be bought, much less at "low prices" (an obvious insinuation that I'm cheap!). So please, don't be fooled by such ads. They are only scurrilous attempts to separate you from your hard earned money. I can assure you, as the copyright holder on "Matt Bradley" I have not released the rights to anyone. However, for the right amount...

Especially not Leslie! I'm worth more to her on Amazon than I am at home!
