hmmm... nut & honey... does that cereal still exist even?

Anyway, it is hard for me to be enticed to register or do anything beyond the simple clicks in things like emiles and MyPoints for these very reasons. Although I have done it and usually end up with similar results. It really makes me wonder who or what runs these marketing promos and what they really think is right. I mean, WHY does it always happen? Is it that the software that all of them use has some bug that just is the way it is, and we get the brunt of it in mile and point land, or is there something else?

I would LOVE to spend ONE day in some emile, mypoint, or worldperks mall room where this stuff actually goes down (and kick the arses of those who have pained us so whilst I am in there!). It would be kinda like visiting the ben & jerry's factory in VT Maybe they even give you 3 miles per day if you work there! (B&J gives its employees 3 pints a day! mmmm)

Can we like do a DO to THAT???????
