Now, That's Naughty!

1:45 PM -- Often incinerated. Never duplicated. It's time, once again, for another edition of The Philter Index:

The Philter Index, for May 3, 2006:

  • Real name of the PR contact for a video game, Naughty America, which purports to combine online dating and virtual sex: Wayne Teats of Gonzo Communications

  • According to a survey by Toshiba Corp. (Tokyo: 6502), published by the Japan Economic Newswire, what percentage of Japanese housewives "are aware of the need to update their equipment when terrestrial digital TV services replace the current analog broadcasts": 80 percent

  • Here is an actual quote from an email advertisement pushing a book called Marketing for Everybody: “I must appreciate the efforts you have taken to write this book on marketing, which everybody, irrespective of whether he wants to study the subject for examinations, would like to read and, therefore, I congratulate you for the same.” -- Dr. P.C. Shejwalkar, Director of Institute of Management Education

  • Actual line from a product pitch about a new service from eAgency Systems: "Handheld users do not have to wait around for Yahoo when they can sink with any internet web service now, whether that is Yahoo, MSN or even gmail."



Why soar with Yahoo when you can sink with anyone?

About the Author(s)

Phil Harvey

Editor-in-Chief, Light Reading

Phil Harvey has been a Light Reading writer and editor for more than 18 years combined. He began his second tour as the site's chief editor in April 2020.

His interest in speed and scale means he often covers optical networking and the foundational technologies powering the modern Internet.

Harvey covered networking, Internet infrastructure and dot-com mania in the late 90s for Silicon Valley magazines like UPSIDE and Red Herring before joining Light Reading (for the first time) in late 2000.

After moving to the Republic of Texas, Harvey spent eight years as a contributing tech writer for D CEO magazine, producing columns about tech advances in everything from supercomputing to cellphone recycling.

Harvey is an avid photographer and camera collector – if you accept that compulsive shopping and "collecting" are the same.
