That "ParrotSecrets" page brought back unpleasant memories of a previous web development job of mine (that I was only too happy to be able to walk away from!).

It's the first time I visit parrotsecrets.com and I've "been chosen to receive a special discount!" Now I can get the "Amazing New Parrot Training Course" for as low as $40 instead of the usual $80.

Amen, brother. And barely a week goes by when the phrase "B-Ark" doesn't run through my mind. I had to stop reading Cringely a year or two ago. The man's output has definitely been devolving.
