Coors Survey
I got on Coors list a while back, and now get offers for surveys every once in a while. One came today, and I took the survey and earned a $10 Amazon.com GC!
The weird thing was that it was about (potential) billboard ads. The survey was formatted as follows:
Please click on the button below to view the billboard. You will only be able to view the image for a few seconds.
The only button to press was a typical ">>" button, usually used to advance to the next screen, as was the case here. I was then asked a series of questions regarding an ad I hadn't seen. I figured out that I had to wait about a minute for a java applet to download, then for the image to download. It seems that the applet was there to protect the images from being copied/saved, but nothing stopped me from grabbing screen shots. If you're interested in seeing the ads, let me know.
From the looks of things, they're doing a take-off of MasterCard's "Priceless" campaign, substituting "Golden" as their key word.
Comments
eh, nothing was preventing you from grabbing the images anyways. i.e. the applet has to load them from somewhere, so for instance, if you are going through a proxy (or a personal firewall), they'd be in the logs for you to see.
