“Money
can't buy me love,” the Beatles sang.
But
according to a recent email, money can buy you friends. Sort of.
They're not real friends, they're the kind on Facebook.
At
least they don't cost much. According to the promo, I can buy 500
Facebook fans for $49—less than a dime apiece. And if I want double
that number, they cost me only $79, less than eights cents each.
Interested?
Here's their pitch:

Give
me a break. Do you really want the kind of loyalty only money can
buy? When publishers ask for platforms, I don't think they mean the
kind built of paper-mache.
Then
again, maybe your target audience is people who are easily manipulated.
See if the company can give you a price break for larger
quantities. You'll get your two cents worth.
