Who or what the fuck is “Media Discovery”?

Hi Francis, I was wondering whether you’d be interested in selling advertising space on Ss-Burnout.com? The advertisement would be unobtrusive and we can pay you an annual upfront payment for the advertising space. Uh-huh.  Unobtrusive ads?  Annual upfront payment?  Riiiiight.
