Now its official. Perry is the Google Adwords Guru. What took them so long.
Is this marketing plan for real? Wow! I need to check this out.
Thanks!
Perry,
I got tired of waiting. I am also really cold and my camp stove just died, so no more espresso.
I gotta go.
But, if you want to catch up in Jerusalem, drop by. I am there most of the time,
Cheers,
Ted
Is it a good business practice to steal images from Istockphoto (watermark still there) and use those in a commercial video?
Looks like IP infringement to me.
I always wanted to be rich and go to china, seems like a good fit. Don’t mind hiking up near vertical mountains either.
I always knew the thousands I lost in network marketing would come good someday – Perry, this will be life changing for me – let me know which beach and when and I’ll be there with you to get this thing mooving and grooving…
See you at the top!
I second Carol. What’s even more funny is the comments above from the all the sharp tools.
You almost had me Perry, but the giveaway was when you kept referring to the company as “Google” even though everyone knows that yesterday they officially changed their name to “Topeka.”
Perry – when you started drawing circles I about fell on the floor laughing. You have ambot patter down pat . . .
The ultimate marketing plan from Amway, forever embedded into the old neural networks of swammy Perry … eshhhhhhhhhhh!
Just bought my air ticket!! yeeehaaaaaa!
Holy Crap Perry!!
ARE YOU FOR REAL??!!!!!
I just bought my plane ticket and am picking up new crampons before I fly out tomorrow.
It was expensive buying the plane tickets and finding a sherpa to guide me up the mountain was no small feat. I figure the additional cost to fly my sherpa from Berma will be well worth it, especially if I’m one of the first 12.
I couldn’t afford to pay for this trip so I cashed out my life insurance policy and maxed out my credit cards. All my cash savings are gone except for the $175 I left my wife for food and diapers for our 12 kids. The oldest is 12 and our youngest quadruplets are 4 months old.
My wife agreed it would be hard on her but well worth it to be one of the 12! I’m hoping that the mortgage company will hold off on the eviction (I was going to bring my mortgage current but good thing you sent this out when you did!!)
My work visa doesn’t allow me to leave the country and coming back may be a problem. Immigration said it would be 7 years before I could petition to regain entrance into the country. Again, my wife said it would be all worth it and to focus on the dream.
Because if I can believe it I can achieve it right?!!
I missed the boat on many ground floor opportunities and Perry, I PROMISE YOU THAT I WILL NOT MISS THIS ONE!!
This is the break I’ve been looking for my whole life.
I know I can do it!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!!
SEE YOU AT THE TOP!!
(I just hope my medical condition and bronchitis aren’t a problem in the high altititude – I know I just have to believe and have a good attititude and it can be mine!!)
I am a diamond!
Chris.
I have been reading your stuff for quite a few years. It is most entertaining as well as helpful. I hope this makes you really rich. Good luck.
Hey Perry,
This was a great amusement coming with my morning coffee. While I was still wondering if Google really resumed there commission strategy I suddenly found myself on the way to china…
My secretary had already ordered the tickets and I had called my Sherpas in Tibet when i suddenly realized the fact that Aprils fools day isn’t over yet in the Staates.
very cool.
So now you know what Perry sounds like when he’s lying. He sounds like he’s talking to a kid.
Honoured Sahib,

I was wondering how long it would take. Perry’s finally lost it. He’s being digested by the G dragon as you read this. I guess it won’t matter,though. He’ll do just fine selling adwords to all those bacteria in the Google gut.
But Frank Kern has already sold the mountain to his members at $2K per rock!
Sign me up.
Sign me up.
Hey Swami Perry,
I heard Richard DeVos and Wen Jiabao will be coming to your meeting with a sackful of special Himalyan mushrooms…to keep the merriment going!
Lawrence
Perry, I wan to buy my way into Triple Diamond! Can’t I use my adwords money to buy your downline? Yep, I too bought into the whole MLM deal for 2 years, never did anything except alienate friends. But THIS – this sounds like the real deal.
This video is just a consequence of Perry bumping his head when trying to climb his house roof, training to this big Himalayas event…
Notice the big bandage on his head ;)
rgds
PS: Nice one!
First thing I’m going to do with the millions I make from Google’s new remuneration program is buy you a good and proper swami hat. After all you deserve it.
Thanks for the laugh!
Great! Besides the garb, I had my first suspicion when the circles started being drawn. I used to know how to draw those circles too.
Thanks for the laugh. It made my heart smile!
Teresa
Perry! This is great! I’m bringing ALL my cats…..In case we get hungry trudging up Mount Ada. I love the Adwords ..um..programs also. I feel right at home here now. Thanks, Swami.
Hi! Perry,
Happy April Fool´s Day and thanks for the nice try. You almost got me if I didn´t see the comments on your blog.I was already planing to start my meditation on the Word(Mark 11:23,24)to build my faith and get to the top of that mountain.
You know I´m cuban so I´m not aware of days like this.Anyway congratulation for the good job and thanks to everybody who posted their comments on this site and saved my time.
God bless you all!
Orestes
You’re kidding – this wasn’t serious! Good thing I bought the travelers insurance on these tickets to Bejing!
Just like you young smart punks to mess with an old lady’s head. It’s OK, though, cuz I was going to have to pay a wad to be air-lifted to the summit of Mount Hebejeebie.
Happy Joker’s day!
;^)
Sharon
ha ha ha h ah ah hahah Oh geeee, took me through the full range of emotions…
1. Wow opportunity is huge!
2. China… WT??
3. Totally goes against PM ideology (only the thow who could afford the ticket and the time off thier J.O.B. and physically fit even had a chance)..?
4. Laughter…after reading the April Fools Comment.
Nice Job Perry…you got me.
OK…….If you, Larry and Sergey can make the trip, so can a 60 year old.This was a great Happy April Fools! Started my day with a good laugh
Swami my Swami…I will see you up there as soon as I can find one more cramp on and my Google credits.
Enjoyed the video.
If you were truly partnering with Google, you’d know that they changed their name to Topeka today.
What a coincidence, both major announcements coming out on April Fool’s Day!
The hat is a nice touch, however.

MACRONEAUX’S J. PETERMAN MAKES OFFER FOR FRANCE
LEXINGTON, KY – Apr. 1, 2010 – J. Peterman announced Macroneaux’s plan to bid for France, in a recent press conference. News coming on the heels of what many considered the greatest political yea vote (all 72 inhabitants voted yes) in Macroneaux history.
The speaker of the house, who was in his house at the time, since they have no official capitol building, or capitol, said, on the record: “We may seem delusional, but Marcroneauxians are extremely resourceful, and it would be wise to remember our motto, One cannot live by macramé alone.” He was speaking of the principality that is the largest macramé producer in the world, once belonging to Andorra, which fell into Peterman’s hands just recently in a game of Whisk, (the modern version of Whist.)
Rumors of such a deal began swirling in the streets recently when huge quantities of foie gras were being served in Macroneaux’s only restaurant, somehow overlooked by The Michelin Guide, where the country’s only shaker and mover was at the best (and only) table.
Peterman was tracked down last week in France on his most recent buying trip, and when asked how they can afford to purchase France, Peterman stated, “With the price of Roquefort plummeting, the time was ripe. Besides,” he said, “I’ve always had a fascination with The Louisiana Purchase – and “The Peterman Purchase” has more of ring to it, don’t you think?”
Peterman went on to say that April 1st be known as “The Peterman Purchase,” bumping “Fool’s Day” from top billing. To celebrate, an official code commemorating the historical event was issued. Simply use the code WHISK to receive 23% off all apparel at jpeterman.com.
About the company: J. Peterman has been traveling the world to find uncommonly good things since he started the company in 1987.

Perry,
I’m on top of Jade Dragon. Where are you guys? It’s freezing up here.
Um, do I have to fly through San Fransisco or can I take the flight out of Vancouver?
Love It! MLM will never be the same! But Perry,you forgot the 1% worldwide pool that all the top swami’s share in each year! (think of how much coin that would represent!)
Loving the stock diamond picture!
That is one hell of a plan. Love the idea of the sponsorships and 5% payouts.
Should have read the comments first, I just booked my flight 0n Air Mao Tse Tung to China and its non-refundable!!
I love you man!
Ok, so I’m #4 on the top of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain…Bob from Topeka, Jim from Kansas City, and Kim Chang from Beijing were here when I arrived. Perry, we’re freezing our asses off. I’m not surprised that I wasn’t the first one here, but I’m surprised that it’s been more than an hour since I arrived and no one else has arrived yet. What is this, some sort of April Fool’s Joke? How cruel if you were just playing a trick on us. Do you know how much I spent on thermal underwear and battery operated socks??!! They aren’t working…and I’m getting sleepy. Maybe I’ll take a short nap and warm up. Perry, if this is a joke, you’re going to be in big trouble! It’s colder than I’ve ever felt, and I’m very….very…tired.
I had no idea Brian’s life was in such shambles before you!
My brother and I are in an airport now in San Francisco since it is a short trip from LA and are in line for a plane ticket to Bejing.
Triple Diamond club here we come!!
Perry, you really have too much time on your hands.
PS- your wife called and said to put the towels back in the bathroom NOW.
Your Courses are by far the most Excellent i’ve ever encountered online, and your April Fool’s Treats even better!
Nice on Perry~ :)
Ha ha haaaa!!!
This is like the Anti-Perry!
And the best of all, the iStockPhoto with the watermark still on it.
Happy fools day for you in USA (In Spain it’s on december 28th)
Best,
Carlos
Thankew, thankew verry mush!
Swami Elvis
You had me goin’! I said “don’t tell me Perry is going Amway on us!” lol The swami outfit was a giveaway, just didn’t go with the scruffy beard look!
I’m going to cut my entire downline in on this deal!
As Bill Murray beautifully stated in “Stripes”, Perry you are “a mad man. I want to party with you cowboy.”
