I am duly horrified and dismayed by that icky lumberjack yoga type thingy person. I’m really, really tired of long sales letters, generally. I’ve done marketing writing, I understand the reasoning… and I think it’s wrong. I am increasingly of the opinion that if you can’t sell your prospect in 5 sentences (or fewer) they probably don’t really need your product.

Oh, good. Thank heaven I'm not the only dork around here. *exhales* Love how everyone is as confused/incensed/bewildered as I am ... and just so you know, I've had the lumberjack song in my head ALL DAY now -- it's even better in German for some reason which is too screwed up to contemplate.

And just what does abundance smell like? Or is it the aroma after all? Maybe it’s the smoke…

I pulled out the stick of Abundance incense. The dog had just let out the most nasty…

Well, yeah, so the room needed freshening. Didn’t want to use the discontinued Abundance, but it was all I had with me. I lit the stick, carefully let the tip get hot, then puffed it out.

As I slid the stem into the incense holder I noticed something odd about the smoke. Along with the normal wispy gray the incense produced something darker and thicker. I set the stick and holder down, stepped back and watched, amazed.

The smoke thickened. The darkness took shape. Human shape. It’s face blended Will Smith and Gilbert Godfrey while it’s body seemed to have once been quite fit, though not anymore.

Will-Godfrey’s face smiled lazily at me. In a voice like Barry White it said, “You have three wishes.”

Ta-Da… Abundance Incense!

Oh, I’m a lumberjack and I sleep all day…

Monty Python did it SO much better.

Lumberjack is yogalicious – not!

I like your site. Lotsa fun.

Cheers

Re Lumberjack Yoga: look who’s he marketing to–not anyone who would be caught dead near a yoga studio. Seems more like he’s trying to grab Matt Furey’s demographic (teenage boys and wannabe tough guys) than the yoga scene. And his presentation seems just perfect for them.

Okay, that lumberjack thing was super gross. I mean, even if it wasn't supposed to be even vaguely related to yoga, it was still weird and gross. Those sales pages always make me kind of throw up a little. Is it weird that he kinda reminded me of my ex? (By the way, omg, hello me! Haha. That totally caught me off guard. In a completely cool way though. And I still stand by what I said - this woman rocks!) Sarah Marie Lacys last blog post..Good morning, resistance.

On the Lumberjack yoga–oh, gack, ick, wow. There wasn’t anything on that page that said peace or epiphany or inner voyage or even glorrrrrrrious barefoot connected-to-the-earth goodness that I connect with yoga. Sad.
