Odd advertising campaign

So I just got a letter from my ISP telling me how to protect my child from infection. It had 10 bandaids (sticking plaster in the US I believe) in it and an ad for their anitvirus/firewall stuff. Thats really... strange.

Strange, but they're Band-Aids (or Self-Adhesive Bandages when trademarks are zealously enforced) over here too. It's the Brits who call them plasters.

Ah, I knew there was someone using the non-trademarked name.

very odd, but did the free bandaids make you want to buy their new antivirus program?

the real question is, did the bandaid/bandage (gasp), sticking plaster(?) protect your child from infection? hmmm...

There weren't enough to cover the entire child.

Not as such, they're a terrible ISP, I wouldn't buy anything from them. I'll be glad to buy a new place and get someone decent.
