A Tricky Business Venture

Informed World Citizens agree that the Parent Corporation is loathsome, but the daily onslaught of evil sometimes overwhelms us to the point that we can't make ourselves believe it, and we begin treating them as if they didn't really exist. At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not cautious, and we admonish you to not fall into this trap.

A case in point, yesterday evening my home was approached by an apparently run-of-the-mill instrument of evil, a door-to-door salesman. Our long-running policy about negotiating with evil prevented us from opening the door, but as he left he left a pamphlet on our door. Curious, I read the flier. This is what it said:

Tired of Door-to-Door Salesman?
Visit
www.[domainnamewithheld].com
And Get a "No Soliciting" Sign!
Or call [namewithheld] at [numberwithheld]
Many styles to choose from.

Of all the things he could be selling, he was purveying "No Soliciting" signs. We have warned our supporters before that the Parent Corporation is vile and tricky, but not even we expected this level of treachery. Who would have thought they would be so bold as to try to convince people by going door-to-door that they are against people who go door-to-door?
