If you have already placed order at least 2 items VTCL-60177 and any of
VTZL-11 or VTCL-60190, the bonus will be included."





























It is a pendant for the first 50 customers who have ordered the 'Universal Bunny' and 'Styles' albums slated release later this month. Which means in short, I got the pendant! ! !

I thought Friday the 13th was a bad day, but this instance, it turns up pretty fine. . .

Aww, why Victor Entertainment had to release these 2 albums after May'n left Singapore. . .

Freedom of speech or gentlemen text?

Just curious, ever seen a news announcement posted in such manner before?


'Back to you with a Titling System that doesn't suck: One that doesn't start with unnecessary crap; Is another bit of good news for those who bought tickets to the I Love Anisong event that will take place during Anime Festival Asia 2009 (AFA09).

There will be a Lucky Draw that will entitle 20 lucky Winners to get a complimentary CD from the artistes themselves, and signed right on stage.

Well, it's definitely miles better than the white boards those shotgun May'N fanboys got last year. I'm not participating even though I got a ticket, though.

I don't want something that valuable to be wasted on me. I'm just that much of a loser that I don't even want to win at my own hobby.'

or you will prefer to see this?

'Good news for those who purchased AFA 2009's 'I Love Anisong' concert tickets! Now, you stand a chance to win a lucky draw with good prizes!

20 winners will be picked and they will get not only a complimentary CD from the artiste, plus, here comes the main draw, the CD will be SIGNED on the stage!!!

So, just to get you excited, let's see what will the lucky winners get.

For those who chose Aniki, Yoshiki Fukuyama & May'n, you will win a CD plus their autograph on the stage for you!

For those who chose Shoko-tan, you will also win a CD, but the AFA staff will hand you the CD signed by her.

Excited?

What are you waiting for?

Click here for your chance to win!'

Personally, the first post is so inappropriate to be posted as a news announcement. Yes, some as say its 'interesting', but as a announcement, is there a need to apply such descriptive words?

So, what is wrong by using a simple and clear news announcement to the general viewers out there?

Boring? Too simple?

Save it, there are thousands of news site that still attract readers daily without using such descriptives.

If you have any comment on this view, please voice out.
