Duane Lee Chapman, better known as Dog The Bounty Hunter has joined in the search for Brian Laundrie; currently the world’s most infamous fugitive.
‘Dog’ found fame as so many other peculiar enigmas have… on reality TV. From 2004-2012 he starred in his own show on A&E. For anyone who has not seen the show, it can only be described as an amalgamation of Cops meets the “Wild West” on acid. Each episode followed Dog and his ‘hunt team’ as they wrangled unsuspecting bail fugitives. It was great Television. Each episode ended with a thrill for the audience at the expense of a shocked bail jumper who never in their wildest dreams could have anticipated Dog kicking in the door to the hideout and then storming in trailed by a parade of TV cameras.
Some fun facts about our Hunter Hero:
He joined the Devils Disciples motor cycle gang at the tender age of 15 / While serving prison time for driving a friend from the scene of a homicide, he acted as the Warden’s chief barber / He is banned from the United Kingdom.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, the aforementioned Brian Laundrie is the only suspect in the murder of his fiancé Gabby Petito, and has been missing since mid-September. With decades of bounty hunting under his belt, my money is on DTBH to drag his a** in!!
Affiliate Marketing is the special new ingenious technique digital advertisers have going in order to co-opt consumers. It used to be known as “Advocacy”, a term invented by the Social Media Matrix that had advertisers drooling. It went something like this; Brand could befriend a consumer by having direct one to one conversations with them on Facebook – Consumer would then spread the word to all of their friends about their awesome new relationship – Brand would get troves of new customers for free.
But since that didn’t work, they are paying them to do it in the form of Affiliate Marketing. Now, dopey bloggers like myself can partner with a product and mention them within digital content (usually in the form of a link to their website) for a small commission.
So let’s say I obtained an Affiliate ID (link) from Monster Energy. In my blog I relay the true report that in his search, Dog The Bounty Hunter has reportedly come across a fresh campsite believed to have been used by Laundrie at a Florida park, where he also found a can of Monster Energy Ultra Gold. Now let’s say someone clicks on the link and orders a case – Was it worth it? I can guarantee that Monster Energy does not want to be known as an on-the-run suspected killers’ favorite choice in achieving enhanced alertness and improved reaction time.
Any messaging outside of an advertisers control should be their worst nightmare.
