| In what might just be the most amazing as well as funny scientific breakthrough of our time, Northern Illiniois business manager Kim Bulava and I.T. Designer and Information Architect Kretzschmar of Advantage Media Connection.com have begun work on sequencing the inventory of Antioch's Famous Joke, Magic and Costume shop JJ Blinkers. While websites are generally pretty standard nowadays, we wanted to go beyond explains Kim. The grand re-opening of the new JJ Blinkers.com website will incorporate calendar promotions of the towns events by using special hyper links of both the Chamber of Commerce and the Village's own websites. "This marks a new era of cooperation, combined resources and efficiency of both private business and local government." "I've noticed a lot of strange phenomena and enigmas from the start of this project" stated designer Kretzschmar. To date I have aggregated Jokes, Pranks and Gifts down to their core to discover exactly "just what makes humor and funny tick". I've think we've done it. This is way more than the pull my finger app. You've heard of Bobby Fisher playing chess with a computer and now recently we humans had our behinds handed to us by Watson's A.I.on Jeopardy. By designing various proprietary and magical nuances into this website I wanted to make sure that the next generation of supercomputing will have a sense of humor. Hey if one day the laptops and I-pads are running the show then they should at least know what a whoopie cushion or squirting quarter is. For now the project waits approval from JJ Blinkers business owner Joanne Linker before it goes live - on line. "We've always provided the best of the cutting edge costumes, animatronics, shock pen toys and magic gifts to our customers. The website will be an important way to market our business in cyberspace, taking our brand to the customer and providing them with an added value experience." Joanne had to cut the interview short indicting she was on a mission to find a supplier for Mark Zuckerberg masks before Halloween time. You may have heard of the social network site facebook in which Zuckerberg founded, it's catching on.. JJ Blinker invites you to be a real friend and stop by the store. We have so much to offer and will certainly put a smile on your face. We are curators of a culture store that is fun and were proud to laugh and brag about it. In our store browsers are welcome and buyers worshipped. |
