This is bugging me. It’s like a song you can’t remember the name to. It’s either really brilliant advertising or really stupid.

On our weekend trip to Montana a motorcyclist pulled up beside and past us. I saw the advertising for blogspot.com but couldn’t quite make out the subdomain advertised on the back of the cycle because it was being squashed. I asked Kara to snap a picture, can you tell what the correct subdomain is?

It’s something like maniac–ssions.

Looks like maniacimpressions or maniacmissions, but both lead to 404 pages. Doesn’t seem like the best advertising when the ad is squished by your gear. Furthermore, if you’re going to pay to label something with your blog domain, why not pay the extra $5-10 a year and register your own domain? You can always redirect to the blogspot domain if you really don’t want to pay for hosting. People are driving, they aren’t going to be able to remember a long subdomain.blogspot.com thing.

See if you can uncrack the mystery of the mobile blogspot blog advertising. I don’t get this one on multiple levels but remain curious about the underlying site. I bet some reader can fill in the missing letters. Wheel of Fortune fans, it’s all yours.

Update 9:45am PST: darkmoon filled in the blanks below. He told me to “look at the helmet” which I didn’t realize also had the subdomain. Here’s a closeup pic of the helmet. The blog being advertised is about a cross country motorcycle trip to raise funds their “mission to Africa, South Asia and South America.” Yesterday’s post reads:

It was a cold, wet ride from Idaho to Montana and they hadn’t seen the sun for three days. But John Rusk and John Mitchell finally rolled into Helena, where they headed straight for the capitol building to pray for the citizens of “the treasure state.”

They didn’t mention the smoke-laden air of Missoula, but not sure if they headed that direction. The glowing embers and smoky haze pierced the black night when we pulled into Missoula, Montana on Saturday.
