I got this e-mail Yesterday.Being April Fools Day, and having already been burned by numerous bloggers, and doing a thorough investigation (pfff), I was convinced that this message was bogus as hell. It seems as though I was mistaken.

I got that email, or rather something similar, but I got it last week, not today.
ReplyDeleteI got it too.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Why do you think it's bogus?
ReplyDeleteI Topeka'd the phone number. It comes back with some mass marketing BS.
ReplyDeleteAhh gotcha.
ReplyDeleteIt's legit. I've been on the list for awhile. I believe they have a PR person who actually takes note of blogs and tries to get their press releases out to them. I'm not really a "news" guy with my blog, but I do find it interesting and may post the occasional sample images as long as they're not Kobe Bryant (which most of the basketball ones are.)
ReplyDeleteI got the same e-mail too. Like Madding said, it's real for marketing purposes.
ReplyDeleteIt's legit.
ReplyDeleteI actually emailed them back to ask...they said it was legit, and understood and the April Fools Day-ness.
ReplyDeleteSo yay! We might get free stuff!
