Suzi and Eric burst the party balloons...

What is it round here with balloons, clowns and parties lately? I swear I don't do weddings, birthdays and funerals. Yet I couldn't resist throwing some pies when I saw this story, over at the Spywarewarrior Weblog. Direct Revenue, involved in yet more affiliate gone wrong action.

Despite, you know, claiming to have canned rogue affiliate action.

Oh dear.

By the same token, this shouldn't come as a shock - remember their tasty burger not long after the announcement? Looks like they're going to have to order some more cakes and a party hat too!

So, what is the deal with Direct Revenue? To me, it looks like they are keeping "select" affiliates on board - and if some of those affiliates appear to spring from Crack sites from time to time, well, who cares, right? It's surely just a "one off" and will never happen again. Oh, no guvnor. As I've mentioned before, there will no doubt be some groovy gravy excuse as to why this is, in fact, legit, you damn meddling limey. And as for all you antispyware "zealots", grrr - curse you too! (Shakes angry fist, probably at the night sky and there's all this cool thunder and lightning and that).

Can't wait...
