Deliverance » STUPID BUSINESS TRICKS
Posted 77 minutes ago
As a consumer and customer I continue to be amazed by the stupid things businesses say and do in the name of saving money and/or increasing sales. Even worse we as consumers do economically stupid things without thinking. Some examples (and expect me to return with more): --Airlines. Need I say much more?

Flickr user Balakov likes to take photos using Lego figures.  And not just any photos, Balakov actually recreates famous paintings, photographs, and scenes in painstakingly detail.  The attention to detail in his work is truly amazing and the result is wonderful.  I especially love the recreations of Star Wars scenes and the way Balakov has even went past the series and created scenes ...

I still can’t believe I got a new car this week. A year from now I’ll probably look back at the Subaru as a distant memory, as in “oh yeah, I used to have one of those.” Wow. The new car makes my long commute 10x better. I still can’t believe I got a new car [Link]
