Got this spammy email this morning. \u00a0I’m not a business, I am an individual who teaches art at my house at the Top of the World, but this is really funny. \u00a0They don’t tell me the criteria of how exactly they decided I should win this award. \u00a0What I get for free is this press release. And if I want to display my award, that’s another story. For \u00a0$149.99, $199.99 or $249.98, I can get a plaque or crystal award or both to display at my place of business! Wow, what an honor.<\/p>\n
