Interesting Client

A week or so ago I received a phone call and an email from a gentleman looking to place a full page advertisement in the publication. Getting a call for a full page advertisement is strange enough, mostly given the $250,000 price tag involved. On top of this, ads of this nature don't just get called in to our office and the people who do call looking for such a thing are typically a little off.

Here's a link to the first email. It is lengthy, I admit, but entertaining. I am especially fond of his grammer and prolific, if not sporadic, use of periods.
The first email

I responded to this email with some questions, mostly because this type of advertiser generally ends up reducing in size to a much, much, much smaller ad size. But, given all the things he was proposing, we needed some clarification if it was even worth pursuing. Then I did a little research and found this.

He responded yesterday with the following email, in an attempt to explain not only his current situation, but another idea of his, should he ever be elected to Senate. The second email

I went ahead and let him know that his advertisement was not going to be accepted by our publication, primarily because getting a loan from the SBA (Small Business Association) for advertising was not possible, especially considering the fact that his entire business plan is built on the assumption that a company showing no revenue, no profits and not even in existence would sell stock for over $100 a share.

I also let him know that his plan to print money and pay of city, county, state and federal debts was absurd. I informed of a little thing called inflation and urged him to do a little research on the topic so he'd understand what he was proposing a bit better.

I get the impression this guy is just sitting around on his porch conjuring up these stunning revelations, completely unaware that he is ignorant and uneducated about what he's trying to do. Poor fool. I guess we'll see how he takes it.
