Desperation, Thy Name is HotWired

The following is from an email sent to HotWired Members (or what's left of them, the poor souls):

Dear HotWired Member:

If you haven't seen the latest additions to our WiredWare page, you're missing a rare opportunity. Our selection of WIRED T-shirts, mousepads, messenger bags, and other digerati fashion essentials let you stay in step with the digital revolution while telling the world you're plugged in to the future. Ready to take your street cred to the next level? Then check out our WiredWare page.

As always, we appreciate your membership - and please don't hesitate to let us know how we can make HotWired better.

Sincerely,
Rebecca Cetrullo

How about not sending spam mail hawking your T-shirts, Rebecca? Digital revolution? More like a digital devolution. Luckily, Darwin's Law doesn't include the survival of the insipid.
