Idk if we're allowed to dedicate a thread to this, but just came accross this funny/awesome FT thread where MMS accidentally posted a template of his for a southwest sale... really interesting stuff. The webpage has been deleted but someone saved a screenshot:

And later in the thread lots more making fun of their "well written" TRs

I imagine all bloggers have templates for the different types of posts. I don't get what's so funny other than the fact that he accidentally posted it.

Where he writes "Insert beautiful or inspiring screenshot of a potential southwest weekend getaway destination... we've already used vegas and key west so something different"

Probably more for bloggers with staff writing the posts.

You don't have a template for certain CC offers, just so that you don't need to rewrite the benefits of the card each time?

I mean I'll edit off old posts, but I don't have "template 27."

Or ghost writers. Or bikini pics. Or vanilla reload racks. Or squares. Or circles.

is he any better since ?

The ensuing discussion on ft is hilarious as well. They've started quoting the wonderful writing from MMS:

Quote

Perhaps they can buy a thesaurus with all of the affiliate income?

Food was described as "good" 12 times - in one review!

Even multiple times in one sentence:

- "Our food was good, but not as good as the pizza for lunch. "

- "The pizza was good, but not as good as the Hostaria dei Bastioni Restaurant."

- "the meats were also very good. My spaghetti was good, too."
