David Bowie Opens Online Bank?

from the going-too-far dept

Well, well, well, it seems that David Bowie (who had offered his own online service, Bowienet, for many years) is now opening his very own online bank. It's not a bad idea. Maybe I'll start up the Techdirt Bank...

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    bowie's bank

    it's "in conjunction" with USAbankshares ... i'm guessing that they bought the domain and paid him to slap his name/face on the front. most of the site doesn't even mention bowie -- it's all about USAbankshares.

    they need a copy editor too ... check out this segment from their special "bowienet" offer: "personal web space, chat, 3D Worlds, message boards, MP3 studios, instant massaging, desktop control panel, world famous contests, personal journals, art, music, stories, exclusive Bowie media, backstage passes, and so much more..."

    instant massaging at an online bank? sign me up!
