Get TextMaker for US$11.11 ...

... if your name is Phinnaeus or Hazel!






Congratulations to Julia Roberts on the birth of her two children, Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus Walter!

On the other hand, we are wondering what name her kids will have for her after they find out they are named... Hazel and Phinnaeus!

We believe such an extravagant choice of names can only have sprung from a true carnivalous mind. Julia, you are a true soul mate of any true German carnivalist!

In this spirit of German carnival, we are reinstating our Carnival sale for one day... but only for customers named Phinnaeus or Hazel!

Customers in Europe named Phinnaeus or Hazel:

I herewith certify that my first name is Phinnaeus or Hazel. To compensate me for this name, I want to order at Carnival prices.

Customers outside Europe named Phinnaeus or Hazel:

I herewith certify that my first name is Phinnaeus or Hazel. To compensate me for this name, I want to order at Carnival prices.

This offer is limited to the first 100 customers named Phinnaeus or Hazel. We firmly believe that there are not even 100 Phinnaeuses in this world.

Next week: Special prices for all boys named Sue.

Do you think they're serious? I ordered and my name's neither but I have a friend who's mom is named Hazel. Oh well, what's the worst that can happen?
Check it out.

Well my middle name IS Hazel... not.

If they were serious then they wouldn't have let me purchase it
They had my name and credit card info... so if they really meant it then they'd have not authorized the purchase.

Section 15 of the Theft Act of 1968:
Obtaining property by deception
(1) A person who by any deception dishonestly obtains property belonging to another, with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it, shall on conviction on indictment be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years.
<snip>
(4) For purposes of this section "deception" means any deception (whether deliberate or reckless) by words or conduct as to fact or as to law, including a deception as to the present intentions of the person using the deception or any other person.


Plus, they have your credit card number, so they can always charge you the proper price if/when they find out that Steve is not short for Hazel

Jus' messin' . If they didn't want you to have it at the reduced price, they wouldn't have sold it to you. But if you get a knock on the door...

Cheers,
Nick.
