False Advertising?
Posted By AmyD. on January 3, 2008
There are loads of groups and things around the ‘Net. Loads. And, I certainly don’t want to get into any trouble by naming one specifically… but, I have to say, your website design should sort of match your intention, or mission statement, or something.
For example, if your group is “Giant Hairy Gorilla Men” – your website probably shouldn’t look like my blog template does at this moment.
And, if your group is “Really Wicked Bitches Who Happen To Be Moms” (I totally made that up) – and I go to check it out because you sent me an email online hyping your “brand new look!” and of course, let’s be honest, sometimes one does like to mingle a bit online, I don’t want to show up and find that the “Really Wicked Bitches” are actually posers. Granted, I’m not expecting tattooed, anti-June Cleaver, punk rocking, Amy Winehouse looking, moms… but OMG, I sure didn’t expect to find what I did.
The website has some sort of a DOLL as in DOLLY on it and it’s very cutesy-country and looks a little like a gingerbread house yakked on it. Oh, and it’s NOT a seasonal design either apparently, they meant for their site to look like that.
A better name might be, “And Our Panties Have Ruffles Too!”
While it might look like I am making a sad attempt at a review or something, that is far, far from the reality. I just got this email and then went to the site and to be blunt, I was aghast at what I saw. I dunno, it’s like clicking on a mailer from Pottery Barn and ending up at a website that looks like they should be decorating a rest home.

Yeah, what Britt said. Let’s see who the posers are!

DB – Not a CHANCE!!!! :cheesy:
Phew…
:doh: As if you had any reason to worry, DB! :heartbeat:
I hear there is a lot of money to be made in redecorating Rest homes.
Ok, I don’t really know for sure if there is or not.
I do surely get thy point, though. Although I have learned from experience that If I don’t know the sender of the email, I don’t open it up. Got a really nasty Virus that way – opening questionable E-mail.
Paranoia, big destroya
Beamer :wave:
Well, it’s not crazy. It’s not hip. It’s definitely a bunch of mamas, though.
Maybe it should just be Bland Boring Blog Mamas!
