The time is ticking down!

*For reference on this article please visit this shady website below:

SHADY WEBSITE!

   "Now this may be a deal I can't resist!" I proclaim to myself. Innocently thinking about applying to an internship or potential employment. But once I began to inspect the website and question some of the things they posted, I began to wonder.
    First there is a clock ticking down to when I can still buy this. Why can't I just think about it like a rational consumer? No! Not for you unsuspecting consumer , theres a deadline to this !! Holy!



   So of course you compose yourself being that you are a self respecting human being and can make rational decisions. Then you think, where is this clock from? What is it counting down? Are they closing the store? Isn't this The Internet, the thing that makes e-commerce possible 24 hours a day? It all seems slightly suspect. Maybe reaking... of suspect.
   Well then I start weighing the pros and cons. Well money is good and the job gets me the money... But I have to pay money ... To make money. The logic is shaky but the math is great!
   But alas this site no matter how much I blog is clearly a fake. Or at least definitely going to scam you on something. If you think about it, a legit website will probably win you customers, but one lonely website floating around in space linked to nothing else except your credit card number, seems fishy. And that lock is just a false sense of security. Its time to X it and let it back off into cyber space.
