Behold the word of the prophet who mocketh:
“And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, ‘Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.'”
– 1 Kings 18:27
I do love watching a good mocking.
Once upon a time I took a comparative religions college course, where the teacher showed some of the mocking and sarcasm certain prophets and others did.
The English language doesn’t do it justice.
But, it’s there.
And, it’s not “nice”.
For example:
If you translated the above scripture into modern vernacular it would probably read more like: “He’s either flaking out or taking a crap, or is on vacation, or maybe he’s passed out”.
Anyway my little droogie, here’s the point:
Mocking (righteously) can be very persuasive.
And in the upcoming September “Email Players” issue, I show you how to use the power of mockery to position yourself as the go-to voice in your market… to save your readers from buying inferior products, and, yes, to boost ye olde sales.
(You’ll also have fun doing it, trust me…)
Everyone’s happy.
Everyone wins.
And, everyone’s glad you did it.
(Except those you’re mocking, they’ll hate you.)
Anyway, she goes to print in 2 weeks.
