A very strange banner Ad ?
Quote | Reply
anybody else find a few things quite strange about the order website of the 'power endurance speed' calendar (banner ad above)?





Where would you want to swim ?

Seems the ordering is handled by the Yahoo business shopping cart. Doesn't mean it's shipped by Yahoo, but they just purchased a license to use it. Going through Yahoo is probably cheaper than hiring someone to program their own shopping cart. This is similar to what Trisports uses.

Other than that, I give up. What's strange?

many things. but for starters, something is quite odd about this:

"In the interest of keeping our costs down for the benefit of our good customers, we will aggressively pursue prosecution of any individuals responsible for fraudulent transactions. Please allow approximately three weeks to fulfill order. All orders are final"

this in an ad for calendars ??

Yeah I saw that too. That line stood out a bit. Wondered to myself how many people were in the black market calendar trade. :-)

My favorite photo was "Beach in Australia; USAT Duathlon World Championship. Photo by Christine Knight, 9-2005"

Ummmmm... maybe I'm missing something - but is the beach even used during a duathlon?

It was on the beach (see link below), but that was ITU... Why is USAT running a WORLD championship? They PARTICIPATE in the ITU world championships.
