teddywolfOne of the other discount offer firms, Bloomspot, sent out an email this morning. It started with the feature offer listed in the subject line, which was $35 for $75 worth of shirts at an online retailer whose shirts are rarely $75. That's not the fail, though. The fail was the actual first visible listing.
SOUP RUBIN
THE ORIGINAL BLOOMSPOT RUBIN
292
$25 for $50 of services; $50 for $100 of services
Hello! My name is Maxwell House, but you can call me Soup Rubin, or you can call me Poop Rubin—I've heard them all. Most importantly, however, you can call me anytime there are leftovers. From freezing cold breakfast burritos to excess french fries, my services create an environment where no morsel finds safety, even after the meal has ended—and that's a promise. Read more.
*shudder*
To be fair, if you clicked on the link it went to the shirt deal.
I am pretty sure the Soup Rubin thing is something they use as sample material to explain to a business what they could do for them. Regardless, it did not make my morning more pleasant. They sent out an updated followup email with an small apology, but... I am unsure of how well they manage things over there as a result.
