Today I Googled "Acai Berries" and saw this ad (note the 3 mispellings):

Code: 
Celebrity Weight Loss
Loose Weight like the celebritys
Only $4.95 For Shipping N Handleing
www.celebritysweightloss.com
I loved the fact that the title, ad copy and url had nothing to do with acai and I just had to go see what the landing page was.

Code: 
http://www.celebritysweightloss.com
What I found, (and I believe this is a first) was an actual blog setup as being AUTHORED by Kim Kardashian...

Hi. My name is kim kardashian and this is my diary of my personal weight loss journey. Now I'm no medical guru or anything...

I decided to scroll down to see what other gems the site had to offer and I saw these comments:

Hey mom, so glad you finally got this page up! Glad I could help. Your story should inspire people. So proud of you. Love you and see you soon!

Thanks for sharing your story Katie. Just ordered a free trial of both. I'll keep you posted!

I had no idea Kim Kardashian had kids and I also didn't know that her name was Katie... I mean, I'm all about working quickly but goddamn man... this entire campaign is just... awesome. Who's going to take credit?
 


So what you're saying is you are 30 days late in jacking that LP and instead of getting to work copying / modifying it, you just want to be a cunt here?

I think you're the one who's sailing the failboat today, not the site you list. BTW, that copy converts like shit unless edited...
 
pretty sure this puts all affiliates in hot water, especially after getting the ads alone canned. now a whole lp dedicated to it...

no I've been watching the massive dups of that lp for a long time. and i don't know if you're claiming the LP but i'm sure whoever is doing it is cashing in with the campaign. the problem is that the one celeb who has gone public and hired attorneys is Kim K. she has already shown that even the usage of her image is going to raise attention. your LP is supposedly WRITTEN BY her, which is an entirely different thing than using an image... so you either have huge balls or are crazy... either way good luck.

if you wrote that copy on purpose and it converts nicely, you are fucking genius, i figured it was a non-english speaking person looking to cash in, my bad.

@nachoninja
I honestly was not calling out anyone's landing page, i wouldn't have thought a WF reg would do a full-on K@rdashi@n blog. I thought this post would be funny.
 
No need to have included the url, it has no relevance at all. Probably not the sharpest idea to use Kardashians name as the dieter from a legal point of view...they could at least have spelt that wrong as well. And the ad copy worked - you clicked!

Well, what the fuck do you think you just posted?

Apparently no one pays attention to the Member vs. Guest ratio here:

Currently Active Users: 1,099 (116 members and 983 guests)
 
Maybe who owns that is making a statement and trying to say F you Kim, try to sue me bitch with that site.

I'm 99% positive that a regular here at WF DID NOT make that garbage.

Here's a tip. The next time you see an ad you like/dislike, think is converting, etc keep it to yourself. Bringing it on here is bad business for everybody
 
people need to get banned for doing that shit. Stuff like that is why i dont come here as often
 
don't use kim kardashian to sell acai, use her to sell the "get a big, sexy ass in 14 days" formula. lol
