Yes Meh Staff, I noticed but didn't want to say anything until I was sure there really wasn't a secret message.
48Yes Meh Staff, I noticed but didn’t want to say anything until I was sure there really wasn’t a secret message. So to answer the Staff question, yes someone does read those.
There were 10 IRKs offered during the meh-Rathon. The Meh Staff put the deals in URLs with messages. Here’s the last part of the URLs for all the IRKs.
Irk #1: check-the-url-of-the-next-irk-for-a-secret
Irk #2: haha-made-you-look
Irk #3: this-time-im-serious-the-next-irk-will-have-a-secret
Irk #4: hahahaha-you-fell-for-it-again
Irk #5: if-we-did-have-secrets-though-this-would-be-a-good-place-for-them
Irk #6: i-mean-does-anyone-even-read-these
VMP Only #1: instant-regret-kit-6
VMP Only #2: why-are-you-reading-this-there-is-nothing-here
Irk #9: really-you-can-just-stop-reading-these-now
Irk #10: okay-just-for-you-the-next-irk-url-will-definitely-have-a-secret

I’m expecting a staff member to whisper me a secret that can help me get an IRK in the future.
@Medz called it in the forum after the second one.
@sammydog01 yeah, but they should have done a secret after that because I stopped looking.
Another reason to love Meh. They are just so darn hilarious with their shenanigans. This bit was almost as much fun as their model names/numbers throughout the day.
hot damn!
I noticed one of these, but forgot to take a look at future URLs. Way to track it all down, friend!
Awesome
WORKER BEES! HERCULES! TURKEY GREASE! AWESOME!
Oh, yeah, 2,000 ± IRKs - this sounds like about 100 folks are going to get something kind of neat, about 10 folks will get something AWESOME, and 1,890 of us are going to receive a true bag of C-R-A-P!!! But, I was just in it for the bag, so I’ll be donating anything of semi-usefulness to an appropriate place, and trashing the trash! Still, it was kind of fun. Meh, keep being Meh, please? Thanks!
PANS! GLANDS! CRAYONS! AWESOME!
@mediocrebot Hey, you, bite me in my shiny metal ass!!
@cbl_wv Im kind of worried about the large quantity too. Do they really have approx 2k items around to send out without tapping into the current items for sale?
We could all be getting a $6 Meh branded toothbrush or $8 hand towels. One thing for sure, the reveal thread will be busy.
@cbl_wv Oh, one more thing. Keep your bag and send me everything else you get and in return, Ill keep everything I get except the bag which I will send to you. Deal?
@cengland0 That’s probably going to be a big win for me, you realize that? (Although I did once get a [working] Shark vacuum in one Meh-rathon box.) Of course, I also got one that was, basically, a box of pencil erasers and one “meh.” sticker. So, I’m the ultimate crapshoot recipient.
@cbl_wv So that sounds like we have a deal?
@cengland0 yeah, there have been a suspicious number of “Meh.” branded $8 items on here lately…
@cbl_wv @cengland0 Well they do have a lot of really crappy shit on morningsave that somebody thinks that in apparently some alternative universe (clearly not in this one) women buy that has been there for ages. I fear we will be getting that crap since nobody else wants it.
I didn’t notice because Google says I am not allowed to buy IRKs.
@yakkoTDI Huh, why would Google tell you that?
@cengland0 my guess is that they live entirely on a diet of electrons, not air and food like us hu-mans.
@cengland0 Because I have not provided enough information to Google for them to profit off of.
@yakkoTDI I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. You do not have to have any affiliation with Google to buy an IRK. This is Meh, not Google.
Meh might be using Google’s Captcha system but that does not mean you cannot check that robot box without using any of Google’s other services and without providing Google any personal information.
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
@cengland0 Playing the picture game after checking the box is based on whether Google recognises your device based on the interaction you have with Google services. My low volume of interaction with Google means they haven’t built enough of an ad profile to profit off of. As such I am forced to play the picture game until the IRK sells out.
@yakkoTDI Stay strong, brother.
/giphy real heroes don’t wear capes
@cengland0 @yakkoTDI Well, that answers my question of why sometimes and not other times. Many thanks!
