1. How to be born filthy rich?
Using Daddy's connections to fail upward?

Well, I'm sure there are plenty of people with more money than sense who would want to hear what this war criminal might have to say.

3. Send your entire office for $19!
Edited on Wed Oct-21-09 08:47 AM by Turbineguy
I would have paid $19 to listen to Bush for the last 8 years. Unfortunately, we had him as President and it cost me about $500,000.

At least I didn't lose any children, so I got off easy.

10. One of these came to my area a couple of months back - these are nothing
but "huckster-fests"! They get a few "big name" guest speakers, who will speak for no more than 10 minutes or so each, and these are interspersed with all kinds of get-rich-quick type pitchmen, along with the married couple that actually put these things on who really bash the audience over the head with "making your life right with Jesus" messages!

"But the celebrities — along with cheap ticket prices — helped draw an overflow crowd for "Get Motivated!," a one-day event billed as a business seminar that, unbeknown to many attendees beforehand, doubled as a sales pitch for costly investment seminars and other products, and for Christian evangelism. (Pictures: "Get Motivated!" In Hartford)

"The real superstar is Jesus Christ," intoned Tamara Lowe, who with her husband, Peter, runs Get Motivated! Seminars Inc., the Florida company behind Wednesday's event and similar events throughout the country.

Not everyone who attended the event, which flooded downtown Hartford with about 19,000 people, cared for the overt religious proselytizing.

"To be perfectly honest with you, it pissed me off," said Bill White of Westfield, Mass., who helps manage a CVS store in Bloomfield. "I have my own beliefs and I don't like it when somebody tries to shove it down my throat.""

15. Went to one of those a few years ago.
They were selling a product that was supposed to help you read the stock market and see when all the big boys were buying and selling. It was $6,000 for the computer program. Hucksters, plain and simple. Snake oil salesmen.
