Quizfail
Remember the "I Write Like" quiz meme of a few days ago? They're using social engineering to publicize their vanity press. There was also racefail happening with the quiz author - I can't find the link right now, and can't remember it closely enough to quote here, but I'm sure one or more of my f-list will drop a link here shortly. :)
Anyway, for both of those reasons, I deleted the quiz results to give them a little less internet exposure. I don't normally mind advertising for companies in the form of clever quizzes, but I'd rather not drive traffic to vanity publishers that pretend to be real publishers.
(And I kinda sorta want to work out a way to create a similar quiz and to front-load it with all sorts of genders, colors, orientations, religions, etc of authors.)
