Nyek, grabe naman ang jollibee! sino kaya ang may pakana nyan?
Using Black magic is badddddd! really baddd!
Kala ko tuloy nakakita ako ng website na gawa ng isang tsipipay na seo consultant. (not that I am bashing anyone)
These black hatters could have stooped much lower, but I guess Jollibee will only go so far.
Okay lang yon, pangit naman site nila.
It’s not even blackhat. Too sloppy to be called blackhat.
wtf?!

when you view the source html:
META NAME=”object” CONTENT=”jollibee food corporation, earthworm, earthworm hamburger, earthworm hamburger issue, earthworm hamburger patties
look for it.
yay…
…but wait! There’s more! For only nayn-nayntee-nayn paysows, you get a free jolly hotdog!
The square boxes are non-UTF-8 characters containing black magic. I posted it at my blog.

Thanks for the tips! I learned a lot here.
