A weblog by Hao Lian.
A terrible secret guarded by golems.
A note that thanks you for being born, all those years ago.

I know it’s real because there are user testimonials.

Congratulations. You have selected to register for your free Nintendo Wii. Though everybody else knows that these “points and referral” systems are horse poo, you stuck it out because you’re brave. Because heard to our aggressive internet talking advertisement roll-out, and you didn’t feel like closing the tab. But, most of all, because you’re gullible. The internet is your oyster, and your wallet is ours. So what are you waiting for? Click onward, young trailblazer.

And, remember: Congratulations.
