Minds, Mormons and Money.

There’s an ad on my Flag Counter analysis page. It shows a grinning man wearing an old-style British policeman’s helmet, only it’s white. He has an overfed sort of face, like he eats 5lbs of junk food for every meal. He looks, if you’ll excuse the irreverent English vernacular, a ‘right plonker.’ Underneath his picture is the message ‘I believe God doesn’t give up on any of us.’ How utterly ineffectual; it seems designed to appeal only to that small percentage of the population which believes that God has given up on them. It’s an ad for the Mormons, who I always thought were very rich and could afford the best advertising brains in the business – the sort who know how to manipulate weak minds even better than the Mormons do.

And there’s another one which says ‘If you have a £250,000 portfolio, download this financial guide…’ Yeah, right; it’s that old money cult thing again.

I wonder what kind of person the Flag Counter people think uses their little stats tracker. Evidently not the free-thinking peasant type like me.
