Billy is a legend. One of my all time heroes. Yes i asked myself when i started ppc "What would Bill Hicks think about me promoting green tea?"...then i was like well, regardless i gotsta pay the bills.

Though i would never consider promoting arsenic as a baby food as he joked about lol.

Hey man, you have to respect Hicks. He lived and died (too early )by his convictions, and never sold out like other "angry" comedians tend to.
Probably one of the reasons he died in relative obscurity, while Dennis Leary got a #1 song and voice acting roles in kids movies.

In a way he does have a point. We're pushing stuff that people don't need.
Sure it makes us money, and most of us don't have a problem with it. I know I don't either... But I can see his point. And I like to think that we're at the very least a step above the true bottom feeders that push PLR eBooks and cash gifting.

... And I like to think that we're at the very least a step above the true bottom feeders that push PLR eBooks and cash gifting.

You forgot to include those who sell "memberships" to sites that simply provide links and instructions to download software that's already free. And use domain names confusingly similar to the free software that they are profiting from.

Those are true bottom feeders.

Ya know, I didn't make the fucking arsenic childs' food(I got out of production a long time ago), I just try to SELL it! Biiig difference.

And the fucking joke's on you buddy cuz I can't sell SHIT! HA!

He's a fuckin genius!

Not all marketers are evil, although I sometimes wish I could draw the line a bit further down - I'd make a lot more money!

It's not what you sell, it's how you sell it. Bullshit sells, but what goes around comes around. Bullshit marketer makes his millions, buys a house then finds out about the neighbours from hell the seller chose not to mention.... karma.
