0.06% articles reduced!

Über 50 Artikel reduziert!

It is somewhat funny1 if a large mail-order company like Neckermann is advertising “Over 50 articles reduced!”, isn’t it?

Alright, that of course only applies to the articles that are advertised in the ad letter (with the usual 10€ voucher, of course) – however, it’s still odd, given how many articles they have in total: 85,958 when adding the numbers they give in their categories on their website, maybe plus 6095 chrismas things if they are not also listed in the other categories.

(Of course I should mention that their bargain category contains 14,988 articles, so really not just those few they mentioned in the letter.)

  1. if not to you, then, well, ignore this post ;) [↩]

Translation: This could also be interesting for you: 18 June 2004: Siemens: Top-class cell phones

Found at the end of a list of the new cell phones of November 2008 at Focus Online – I don’t think this (automatic) hint is really interesting for anyone…

p.s Du darfst mir auf dem Deutschen schreiben.
Ich verstehe ein wenig Deutsche die sprache.

(The last two lines in wrong German re-translate to “You may write to me on the German. I understand a little Germans the language.”)

So we see: Got one year older, changed the name and removed the link to a free-hosted website. Also included a cheap black-and-white photo instead of an überkitschy color photo. The rest is the same.

:arrow: Don’t reply, they’re only criminals.
