A Friendly Takeover

Christchurch, NZ — At their quarterly board of directors meeting, the owners of Note To Future Self dot Org, the leading New Zealand lifestyle and tourism website, revealed they were under “intense” negotiations with an as-of-yet unnamed Kiwi buyer.

“It was always our intention to maintain our easy-going, fun-loving focus,” says NTFSdO co-founder Aaron Marburg, “but the buyer is insisting on a strong shift towards reports on their interests and activities. We’re already taking steps to adapt our content-focused paradigms without alienating our existing readership. We hope to attract key demographics with an almost exponential growth in core cuteness metrics.”

Board chairman Anna Marburg said the deal “sets the stage for a major expansion. It’s going to be huge.”

Very little is known of the reclusive business person, known even to close associates only as “Budleigh Salterton” or “the Bean Sprout.”



Although the deal is still in development, the hand-off could be completed as early as December.
