While back one of my friends Tweeted an unusual question: "watching Being Human.
Wonder why VAMPIRES and WEREWOLVES hate each other so much?" Believe it or not, this has a lot of to do with Internet marketing.
Here is why: Vampires and werewolves aren't my area of expertise.
But my guess is they hate each other probably for the same reasons shady Internet marketing gurus and corrupt government bureaucrats hate each other: They take food off each other's tables.
You see, whether you're talking about werewolves and vampires or shady gurus and corrupt bureaucrats, they both have the same agenda -- to feast on as many defenseless "peasants" (i.
e.
earners and consumers) as they can.
And unfortunately, when they battle it out, some of the peasants always get hurt (i.
e.
the recent Visa/Mastercard smack down).
Sadly, that's just the way it is.
But here's the truly scary part about this: The human (guru/bureaucrat) "monsters" are far worse than the Hollywood werewolves and vampires.
Why? Because they pretty much have no limitations.
In most of the movies, werewolves can only pop up during full moons and can be stopped by silver bullets, while the vampires can only show their ugly mugs at night and can be halted by a sharp stake in their sleep.
Not so with the government and gurus.
The government can go after anyone they want, with an unlimited "war chest" of tax payer money.
And even when they're wrong and sue innocent people (which happens a LOT), they get away with it and move on to their next victim.
At the same time, a shady guru can easily change shape and "slip" away into the night to another village and start his rampage anew with a simple business, country or identity change.
Spooky stuff for sure.
And hey, let's face it: Whoever said "monsters" don't exist has never run an Internet based business!
