Sorry if that didn't come across, but that was indented as a parody of obnoxious sites that create false scarcity. By definition, a web product like an eBook can't be limited in quantity. So I thought the humor would be clear.
But I hadn't considered that there are sites that use this tactic even to sell eBooks or subscriptions, so I should probably clarify this… Curious to know if other people got the joke or took it literally?
- revorad 15y agoPlease don't dumb down your sense of humour for people who get offended every time someone sneezes in a dream.
- lhnn 15y agoComing from "Spearchucker", I can hardly consider his criticism of silliness valid.
- odddogmedia 15y agoI, too, took it literal. Could be because this community is made up of very literal folks.
- sgdesign 15y agoThere, changed it. If people still take this one literally, I don't know what to say…
- donjigweed 15y agoI just read it ("Order now! Only 12.7 million copies remaining!") and found it amusing. Not sure what the other version was.
- dusing 15y agoYou can't always please the literal internet.
- goatcurious 15y agoIn fact, I'm buying it because of this (amongst other good reasons). Love this line!
- Spearchucker 15y agoTHAT version is funny. So funny in fact, that I am now the proud owner of the deluxe edition!
- sgdesign 15y agoThanks for helping me improve my copy then :)
- dinkumthinkum 15y agoNo, I think that's hilarious. If anything, the comments here supporting you will help teach some humor skills to those of us don't need the lesson in social interaction.
- binarysolo 15y agoGot the joke, thought it was hilarious. :) Esp the 12.7 million copies remaining part.
- kschua 15y agoThe 12.7 million copies remaining was a huge indicator to me it was joke
- nikosk 15y ago12.699.999 copies. I just bought one.
- 97s 15y agoThis is crazy. It was totally hilarious. 12.2 million digital copies remaining! ORDER NOW!
