Renfield R. Renfield the genetically created shapeshifting hamster/human who was Chief of Security and Intelligence Gathering for the billionaire ancient Egyptian vampire Set was addressing Amadeus Emanon who was the genetically created personal concert pianist for Set.
"Well," Renfield began, "I went to sign up for a Xanga account like the Boss' enemy DraculVanHelsing has and I was greeted by an ad that says Join the millions of Bloggers who call Xanga home. Then when I signed in and joined, I discovered that the site may shut down soon and they've got a campaign to raise $60,000 to save it."
"Really?" Amadeus munched on a chocolate eclair.
"But I've got a better idea," Renfield smiled, "instead of seeking to raise 60 k, simply ask the millions of bloggers who call Xanga home to donate a dollar each and they'll have millions of dollars in their account instead of a mere $60,000. After all, Xanga has millions of bloggers who call Xanga home. This I know for the Xanga ad tells me so."
"Actually sir," Athelstan the valet and butler to Set remarked as he brought in the afternoon crumpets and tea, "according to one of the Xanga team's head cheerleaders, Xanga no longer has 30 million members."
"Really?" Renfield was shocked, "then is the Xanga team lying when they greet new sign-ins with the ad Join the millions of bloggers who call Xanga home?".
"Perhaps they're not lying, sir," Athelstan poured the tea, "perhaps they're just incompetent and haven't taken the ad down yet."
"But if they're incompetent," Renfield bit into a crumpet, "can they be trusted to keep Xanga afloat another year even with $60,000 behind them?".
"That, sir," Athelstan smiled, "is the $60,000 question."
