There’s a special place in hell for the marketer who created and sent me the following email:

Feel free to click the link and let me know if I’m being a little harsh on these folks.
Yeah, I vaguely remember opting into this application and probably consented to receiving email from them. However, I will correct that error shortly.
Todd Mintz knows PPC…knows Social Media…knows SEO…knows Blogging…knows Domaining…and knows them all real well. He runs growth marketing for )and is also a Director & Founding Member of SEMpdx: Portland, Oregon’s Search Engine Marketing Association, and he can be found here on Twitter and Facebook.
Wow…that is pretty screwed up. That is actually a good idea as a community service…to bad it was bogus.
I noticed the Offender Locator app the other day, by all means I am NOT defending the sex offenders. With that said, many of these sex offenders are/were 18 year old boys that had sex with a 17 or 16 year old girlfriends, then her parents found out and didn’t approve, regardless that it was consensual.
Maybe it’s ok to have a website that people can look up offenders, but all marketing of such should be illegal.
