Hahaha - that site is a scream. "7-star living..." I cna understand BG's confusion actually - I was looking for the word "Trump."

And Rand, really - the cult of heroic selfishness. She was the anti-American.

Maud,

You know, when I looked at it a second time, I figured there was NO WAY that thing was real! lol.

But then. We *do* live in strange times don't we? So, you never know.

Thanks for telling me!!

Dear Blue Girl,

I'm so sorry! I should have been clear that it's a satirical ad thingie, but I've amended the post accordingly.

And no worries about the "e." I kinda like it that way.

Sorry about that *e* up there at the end of your name, Maud. Just a habit because of a friend.

Hi Maude,

I clicked to that site and when you click down through the copy on the left and finally get to "Community" -- oh my God. With that music playing, those billboards jutting out of the back of the building and that copy? Boy, that copy was something.

*Very* weird. And quite scary.

p.s. You have to click on "new developments" to get to Platinum Empire/Scary Copy site...
