Tweedle 1: I've got a new idea to get in some dough.
Tweedle 2: Like selling our review units? What else do we have to sell?
Tweedle 1: Ads on our blog. But without telling customers they're ads. How much do you think we can charge? 500 bucks?
Tweedle 2: That's a bit steep. Let's say 350. And I'm a bit worried; do you think it's entirely legal to have ads that aren't marked as such?
Tweedle 1: Scruples! You're getting old, bro! You were already worried about selling those review units without telling customers what they are buying. But then you wrote a blog post that store customers don't have to see. So why not now sell the ad in the shop, so that blog readers don't have to see it?
Tweedle 2: Great idea. I'll write something up. And while I'm at it, I'll restore the passage about our journalistic integrity in the old post.
Tweedle 1: Cool. I was really worried you might develop a conscience.
Tweedles: Great mirth.
