Off Topic Friday: Has Someone Been Lurking in My Living Room? September 26, 2014



Ms "Just Your Average TV Star" pondering her future and why peeps are rude
Is it just me or does it seem somebody's been lurking my living room?

Some folks have commented how a certain Brown collegian, who aspires to be a medical doctor when she grows up, never tweets about her studies. Her sisters by different mothers have, but this one Brown child has preferred to tweet about how her roommates love to keep their apartment hot and how people are rude.


She even tweeted about wearing her hoodie. But nothing about her classes.

Until now...

Suddenly we get tweets reminding us of her major. She even gets philosophical about the meaning of life. Weird isn't it? Especially when she was the topic of conversation in my living room 2 days before. Was this simply a case of coincidence? I don't think so.

But it could be damage control.

So here are the tweets. I'll let you be the judge...









Pretty heavy stuff, right? And in case you don't have the energy to click on the link to see the last 12 words of her tweet...Here's the entire tweet:

"watching curious case of Benjamin button at 11 when I have class tomorrow because it's so damn good & I got a decent amount of sleep last night so I'm not tired"

Could it be Miss "Just Your Average TV Star" has decided to show the world...well, her twitter followers at least, she has turned over a new leaf and that she is human, after all?

I wouldn't be surprised if she tweets "When I'm cut, do I not bleed?" or something like that in the near future.


On to the TV Star's mother, who appears to still be in travel mode. Last weekend it was Utah. This weekend, it's a LIV cruise...



Meri even took time out to do some MSWC Customer Care (or Repair to be more accurate). Makes me wonder where is Robyn and what is she doing?


Just file this next tweet under Somehow This Doesn't Surprise Me...

Either Meri's cooking is way off or Kody needs to get his olfactory nerves checked. I wonder if it taste like Frog Legs to him?

And then there's this photo Meri took:

Maybe it's been a while since Meri actually saw a man "working". Many moons ago, I worked part-time in a hobby retail store. Now, there was always one thing the manager had to make sure there were plenty of: Shopping Carts. Before the store opened, the store manager would get into his car and search for our stores distinctive shopping carts, bringing them home. We jokingly called it the "cart corral" because the guy would drive up and down a major road and the parking lot with at least 10 carts linked together. So I don't find this picture out of the ordinary at all.


Seems Janelle is still caught up in tweeting about her weight loss journey. She's also missing her boys. I have two words to help her: Bug Spray


Yeah, so where does the butter and coconut oil fit into this new goal? Is coconut oil a vegetable?



Don't forget your coffee!! And the butter!

On the Darger Facebook, a rather cryptic message is leaving fans hoping nothing bad has happened...


Post by The Darger Family.



And on the My Five Wives Facebook, the official announcement of the start date for their second season was made...


Post by My Five Wives.



Meanwhile, on the Brady Williams Family Facebook, there's a picture of Brady in a kitchen looking "sporty"???


Post by Brady and Wives.


Oh, and before I forget...There's this short and to the point posting on Honey Baby Hoo Ha's official TLC Facebook fanpage...

Post by Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.


From what I've read, this is a TLC/Producers ploy to increase lagging ratings. Mama June was also looking for bigger digs, too. Hey, that sounds just like Teresa Giudice, who's now claiming Bravo/Producers FORCED her to carry a pricey ($8K) handbag while being filmed looking for a cheaper place to live. I wonder if Mama June will be on the next Celebrity Apprentice?


That's all for now! More updates as they occur!

PS...I'm still working on the 2014 Plyggie Awards Results!!

I Scour the Internet: The Browns at College Edition for September 23, 2014


Collegians Aspyn, Maddie, Mykelti and Mariah


Who would've thunk it?

These four, young, Brown sisters from different mothers (and one doofus father) are all college students!!

 Aspyn and Mariah are now sophomores, while Maddie and Mykelti are freshman this semester!




Unfortunately, it appears Bonus Mom Meri didn't get to UNLV. No doubt her bouts of the "vapors" and playing the role of  "groupie" for that fabulous Utah band VanLadyLove did not leave much time for college. Oh well...UNLVs lost and the world of at risk youth's gain is one way to look at this.

Meri's been way too busy to be a college girl...she's working hard at her role as the Jet-Setting Sister Wife and VLL supporter at the first Utah Music Awards...


Perhaps she's decided her career path should be in the entertainment industry...looks like she's scoping out a new band to stalk...i mean to follow...
But the VLL accolades keep spilling from her nimble fingers to her twitter followers...



Good grief, Meri. How much are these guys paying you?


Like a true globetrotter, Meri takes a picture of the busy airport tarmac.No more putting mileage on her car for her weekly Utah trips..Next time she'll be leasing a private plane instead of flying commercial!
But she still has time for one more VLL tweet...



Thus, we have the reasons why Meri is not at UNLV this semester...


The Brown's "Just Your Average TV Star" is still trying to find her Twitter voice. I suppose she saves all her mature stuff for her true friends on instagram...

Good question Mariah. Your "audience" has been wondering the same about you since last semester...

I hate to break this to you, but they even let nurses "fix" cuts nowadays. Now, if you had reattached a finger or limb, that would have been noteworthy!



Oh yes, Miss Sunshine is shining through again...
Amazing how she can go from one extreme to the other in a matter of minutes, isn't it?
First she's waking up, now she's complaining about the lack of sleep. Which is it?
I suppose this mention of the Boston hoodie means something significant...
Ahhhh...she's looking up med schools. Now, I wonder what city they are located in...could it be....BOSTON?????
Let's hope you have better luck than your mother Meri and bonus mom Janelle...
Uncomfortable isn't the word...I think scared to death is more accurate.

Looks like you got more than coffee...so what sweet was in the wrapper?


And then there's Freshman Maddie. Now let's be real, Maddie can have her entitled moments too. But there is something fresh and endearing about her that you can't stay upset with her for long...Follow the next three tweets where you can't help relating to what she's experiencing...




Hey Maddie! Don't despair! Econ is hard!!!


But all is well! Maddie pledged a sorority and the world is rosy again. Hey, maybe one of her Greek sisters is an Econ major...

This is sweet...(wipes tear from eye)
No doubt the color influence comes from being around Bonus Mom Christine all those years.



Hmmm....for some reason Mykelti's tweets tend to be on the dark and brooding side, if you know what I mean. For a girl who believed her father's malarkey about kissing and passing hormones, you'd think she'd be more...pious, know what I mean?


Did this come from a romance novel?
All righty then.

At least she eats healthy...My BFF calls oatmeal for dinner her "Harvest Grain Festivale." I don't eat dinner at her house much...
And yet another Brown going Greek!




So does this mean she's working at the library or doing homework there? At any rate, she's miles ahead of her mom and dad in the work and school departments.


Meri may be having dizzy spells, but Aspyn seems to have a more serious problem...

A girl has to know her limitations...

Can you tell this is Aspyn's second year in a sorority?
Hmmm....I wonder what Aspyn is saying. It's all Greek to me...
Aspyn are you suffering from multiple rush crushes?



And this just in...

Mykelti got into the sorority she wanted!





Well that's all the tweets from the college teens for now. And remember, I Scour the Internet (Twitter) So YOU Don't Have to!

Off Topic Thursday: Another Brown Family Road Trip for September 18, 2014






I don't know about you, but I almost miss watching Sister Wives. But then I look through their tweets and discover, maybe I don't miss them that much after all.

So what have our favorite polygamists been up to, so far this week?








Robyn sounds like she's been channeling a lovesick teenage girl...


Then again, maybe she's thinking about her first husband. At any rate, I find it a strange tweet for a supposedly happily married polygamist woman.


And TLC tweets about spending a week the Browns...I don't know, I think I would spend a week as long as that buzzkiller Robyn isn't around!


And if they take another vacay to Disneyland I'd go with them - but they have to pay for my hotel suite and my Disneyland admission!


Now let's see what Meri's been doing...First she tweets this...


then she tweets this...


Hmmm....I'm beginning to see a pattern here. Robyn tweets about love being a rose with thorns and now Meri has dizzy spells. If this was the 19th century I'd say these ladies were suffering from the "vapors". Or, maybe Kody is courting his 5th!!

Guess going back to college was just a pipe dream (ie producter inspired scripted moment) after all.


And then there's the annoying college teen tweet...
Yes Annoying One, you're right. Nothing slow about you! (insert gigantic eyeroll here)


But there's good news in Kappa Delta land. Looks like another Brown has gone Greek...


Sounds like even Mykelti is going Greek, too...

Mykelti may be tired, but she can still take the time to tweet texting rules to her followers...


Kody is way too busy retweeting, but how nice that he retweets this tweet of Janelle's. I guess he enjoys "working" vicariously through her. Wait, if you listen real close you can hear Kody telling Janelle the ABC's of selling  real estate. Always Be Closing...Always Be Closing...


Where's Alec Baldwin when you need him?


Looks like Hunter's got something on his mind, or in his stomach...That is a seriously big burger...


Another road trip...Don't these people EVER stay at home?

Ha ha, for a second I thought James Dean went on the trip, too. But that would be impossible, wouldn't it?  (Nothing is impossible in KodyBrownLand©)

I wonder what those new experiences have been? We want the details, Janelle!



Look who's getting Lasik surgery...but you should have more enthusiasm when you are shilling, Janelle! Like when you talked about putting butter and coconut oil in your coffee!


Apparently Christine stayed behind in the cul-de-sac. Looks like the Browns haven't splurge on a swimming pool yet. Why spend money when you can impose on your neighbor Bill for free? Right Christine?
Must be a slow news day in the cul-de-sac...I'm surprised Christine didn't tweet a picture.



And on the TLC Sister Wives Facebook fanpage, looks like a mystery Brown child is on display...I wonder who it is (I think from the eyes it's Hunter)


Post by Sister Wives.


On the Darger's Facebook page, they are talking about something called "Man Camp." Is it just me or are those guys intentionally trying to look like thugs?


Post by The Darger Family.

And Brady Williams and Bunch celebrated a birthday party recently. Let's hope they don't become obsessed with throwing ridiculous parties for Brady like what happens with the Kody Brown Krew©.


Post by Brady and Wives.


Outside the world of reality, looks like Julie Chen has a polygamist or two in her family closet. Much thanks to HockeyMom for this tasty tidbit!

The Talk's Julie Chen: 'My Grandfather was a Polygamist'



And that's all for now!

The Overall Best, Worst Performance of a Male Polygamist in a Leading Role
 
 
              Kody Brown
 
 
What more can we say about this guy that hasn't already been said?

Keywords: Narcissist, Buffoon, Unemployed, Opportunist, Clueless, Leach.



Michael Cawley













His version of bedtime stories implanted the lurid vision of monogamist harlots walking the streets in his children's impressionable minds.

Keywords: Creepy, Crawly, Gainfully employed.







The Overall Best, Worst Performance of a Female Polygamist in a Leading Role




Meri Brown




Her nonchalantly cleaning her counter top while Kody was on the phone telling her Truely was in kidney failure was "iconic".

Keywords: Selfish, Self-serving, Wet-bar.









Robyn Brown


On the San Francisco trip, Robyn cheerfully modeled designer clothes (about 2 fashion seasons old) that were way too small for her dumpy sister wives to wear.

Keywords: Manipulative, Scheming, Inactive Baby Maker and Incubator.







Nonie Williams

She works for hubby Brady's company so she sees him more often than his other wives. When sisterwife Rhonda decides to adopt, Nonie one ups her by wanting another baby, too. The old fashion way with Brady, demanding even more of Brady's time.

Keywords: Cray Cray, Nuts, Mayor of Crazytown.







The Overall Best, Worst Performance of a Male Polygamist in a Supporting Role



Winn Brown


Late father of Kody Brown. Only seen on the show maybe a couple of times, but seems to have figured out Kody early on. How did Kody remember his dad? By retelling a story that his father gave him a pair of thermal underwear instead of a Letterman's sweater he wanted.  Giftwrapped in a Letterman's sweater box.

OUCH!!!












Hyrum "Burton"



Judging from his bachelor party, I wouldn't be surprised if he was yelling "Tequila is my lady! My lady!" all the way home.

Keywords: Eye Candy.













Isaiah "Thomson"



He leaves his wives for weeks at a time while he works out of state. Totally on the opposite end of the spectrum from Kody Brown in work ethic and personality.

Keywords: Boring, Forgettable, Gainfully employed.










Rod Williams




Brady Williams wild and kind of crazy dad.


Keywords: Kilt, Big Foot, Going Commando.









The Overall Best, Worst Performance of a Female Polygamist in a Supporting Role



Kellie "Thomson Burton"





She's dreamed about Hyrum "Burton" being her mate since high school. Giggles, a lot.


Keywords: Giggles, Blushing, Ginger.













Rosemary Williams



Exceptional musician (piano) but always seems to get the wrong end of the time with Brady Williams stick.

Keywords: Doormat.










Rebecca "Thomson"




A bit more coquettish than the usual Centennial Park matron, Rebecca endeared herself to sister wife Marlene when she suggested that the loser of the card game they were playing forfeit their night with hubby Isaiah. She later change it to taking the winning sister wife out on a date. Smart girl.

Keywords: Shameless Flirt.









The Overall Best, Worst Case of Loose Lips Sinking Ships


Christine Brown



Who can forget her proudly proclaiming how plygs like free things and don't like to work if they get too much money.


Keywords: Polygamy Royalty, Sharks, No Toasters or Microwave Ovens EVAH!!!













Rebecca Richard

Just hours after meeting the Browns, Mrs. Richard proudly proclaimed she knew some polygamists that didn't mind "doing weird" in the bedroom. All together. In one bed.


Keywords: Baking Cookies.











Kody "I Picked the Dress" Brown

Let's just say Kody proudly exclaiming how he picked Robyn's wedding dress was not his proudest moment. And it showed how Robyn conspired with Kody behind her future sister wives back.

Keywords: Dumb, Stupid, Idiot.








The Overall Best, Worst Case of Conspicuous Consumption by a Polygamist Family




Kody Brown Family ReCommitment


From the supersized pergola in the yard between Meri's and Robyn's McMansions, the hideous Tree cake, to the presence of  VanLadyLove for entertainment out front in the cul-de-sac, this party was the epitome of overkill. Polygamist or monogamist.

Keywords: Gluttony, Shameless.





Brown Family 72oz Steak Challenge

Thank goodness TLC paid for this food challenge, but what happened to the leftovers?


Keywords: Gluttony, Barf Bags.










Kody Brown's  McMansions



Four McMansions, totaling almost 18,000 square feet  and costing almost three MILLION dollars, for 5 adults whose only job is a reality show.

Keywords: Overpriced, Cheaply Made, Foreclosure.







The Overall Best, Worst Example of a Sisterwife having a Resting Bitch Face

Suffice it to say I wouldn't want to meet up with any one of them in a dark alley, that's for sure! Key phrases: If a look could kill; A look that could kill from 20 paces away.


Paulie Williams


Robyn Brown


Nonie Williams

Off Topic Thursday for September 11, 2014


Just a few odds and ends first.



FYI...

NatGeo will be replaying four episodes of Polygamy, USA today, 9/11/14. Check your local cable listings for showtimes!





IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Some people may be experiencing problems with the link to the My Living Room on Facebook group. Please contact me directly at the email address for the blog, located to the right for a solution. Thank you!



Now to the what's been happening on with our favorite Polygamy personalities on Twitter and Facebook!

Robyn busily designing her next MSWC masterpieces!

First of all, it seems Robyn has taken another powder for the week. She must be too busy designing the Fall line of MSWC jewelry (available for sale sometime in June 2015, along with the 2014 Christmas Ornament) or she is plotting the next big MSWC major marketing blunder.

Thank goodness she has sisterwives!






Poor, poor Meri. She was getting all excited about the VLL concert in St. George...


But Mother Nature, in the form of the remnants of a hurricane,  chose to intervene and the concert was rescheduled. Major Bummage! Oh well, what will she do for a month besides driving up to Salt Lake to visit her offspring?

On the subject of Meri's offspring, all I can say is Good Grief! She must be the roommate from HELL!

Hey Mariah, it's not always just about YOU...Just open your window, dabnabbit! If I were her roommate I'd turn up the heat just to make her mad, know what I mean?

How much you wanna bet next semester she'll have different roommates to complain about?


Kody retweeted this from good pal Papa Joe Darger. It's interesting since Brady Williams is also in construction but had to file bankruptcy last year. You'd think Papa Joe would throw another plyg a bone, but I guess not...

Moving on to Janelle, I just KNOW CPA Carol will have something to say about this one!

So let's see. Her "hard" schedule choices were  1) Get out of bed  2) Take a shower and 3) Eat a hearty breakfast and wash it down with some bulletproof coffee. Sounds like taking a shower had to wait until after the workout.

C'mon Janelle. When are jeans and tshirts ever appropriate for meeting clients? Especially when meeting Canadian ones who give you fine gifts of tins of maple syrup?


On the Darger Family's Facebook page,  we get to see a picture of the homes Papa Joe's new company will be building...Very nice, but nothing like the Brown's McMansions.

Post by The Darger Family.


Seems the Brady kids are cuddling up to bunny rabbits on the Brady and Wives Facebook page. I wonder if this is how they teach sex education to the young ones? BUNNY JOKE!

Post by Brady and Wives.





MINI UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE 9/13/14


Man, I don't think I've seen so much DRAMA! But I think it's over for now I hope, and I can focus back on the blog.

I'm starting to work on the awards post this weekend, did we finalize a name yet?



That's all for now! Stay tune for more updates as they develop!!

I Scour the Internet: The Pre First Anniversary of My Living Room Edition for September 8th, 2014



Watching LR-C twerking Happy Anniversary to Cynical Jinx
Holy Cow! Can you believe it?

"My Living Room" went "live" on September 9, 2013!

You can read Cynical Jinx "Thank You" to everyone as well as answers to some FAQ from the past year. Also, her living room will be expanding. Read all about it on 9/9/14 in the Special Update Welcome tab above.



Dinner party Centennial Park style: 2 husbands and 4 wives



Oh yes, for those of you jonesing for some Polygamy, USA, NatGeo has been replaying the episodes. Three episodes are scheduled for replay on September 11, 2014 on NatGeo. Please check local listings for times!






All righty. Back to the Brown Madness!

Oh my word, the Browns certainly made a mess of it this weekend with that easily avoidable business faux pas on My Sister Wife's Closet.

But let's not beat THAT dead horse. I'm sure even more faux pas will rear their ugly heads in the future. Trust me.

Alas, Robyn is still sending tweets of quotes she's found. This time, it's about friendship.


But she does make a positive point by helping out sycophant family friend Rev. Dani in the baby calming arena. Of course, her experience soothing King Sol has to take precedence over her experiences with her other 3 kids. Mommie Dearest at her best!


And look at this! She's not only a Super Mommy, she's the Brown Family news archivist. Correcting ABC News, no less.  I tell you, that woman can do it all....NOT!
Good gracious, Meri's quote is even drearier than Robyn's. But at least it is a change from those darn VLL tweets from this summer.

Hey Meri, what happened to college? UNLV, right? (insert sound of chirping crickets here...)

Mykelti doesn't tweet much but when she does, they are doozies...


C'mon Mykelti! It's not like you are a 2 month old baby! You're a young adult now, so YOU MAKE your fun, not wait for someone to make fun for you! Learn to do things by yourself, like going to a movie, or trying out a new restaurant. Call your bonus sister Mariah. I'm sure she can suggest how to entertain yourself when you're by yourself! Just don't make a video about it and post it on you tube. K?


And then there's Janelle. This time, she chose to tweet about her dieting experience. Frankly, her "nutrition" appears to have been sloppy longer than this summer...how about the last two years?

How much did this detox cost? Betcha it's not a LIV detox...

Oh dear...

Janelle, are you serious? I have a feeling you watched each and every chip, French fry, cake, cookie, candy, mashed potatoes, steak, cup of butter fortified coffee and every other morsel of food that past your lips to be chewed and absorbed by your 25 pounds lighter in 2 years body.

Oh my word, not only is Janelle married to Kody, she is the Queen of De Nial!!

Janelle, I think you need professional help...

Do ya think maybe this could be the cause of Janelle's non weight loss???? I just wonder if she pours it over pancakes or just swigs it direct from the can!


Christine tweeted a darling picture of Truely.


So with Truely gone for half a day at pre-school, Mykelti and Aspyn at UNLV living in their own apartment, Paedon and Gwennie in high school and Ysabel still in grade school I'm left to wonder:  What DOES Christine do with all her free time?



On the Darger front, looks like birthday greetings are in store for Alina, Papa Joe's legal wife and cousin to her sisterwives who happen to be twins.


Post by The Darger Family.


On to the Bradys...oops I mean the Williams. Now call me stupid, but wouldn't it be easier just to go to the convenience store and buy some brown sugar?


Post by Brady and Wives.


UPDATE!!!

This just in from TMZ about Brady Williams bankruptcy. Looks like it is a done deal. Read about it here. (pssst...funny how there's no mention of the original file date and discharge date. hmmmm...thanks for the headsup BC)

UPDATE! Off Topic Tuesday: From the Sister Wives' Kitchens September 2, 2014


I don't know why, but for some reason I was compelled to visit the TLC Sister Wives Facebook fanpage yesterday.

Besides the usual group of freaks, geeks and trolls, I noticed a couple of pleas for the Brown Krew© to publish a Kook Book©. (place eyeroll here)

Anyway, last night I had the most horrendous dream that TLC forced Kody and Krew© to come up with recipes for a cookbook. In my dream I was a secret agent, who broke into the TLC offices in the Watergate Building. After taping the door to the "secret file room" I found the secret file cabinets used to store those recipes, along with Brady Williams' bankruptcy papers, and  a couple of contracts that appeared to have been signed in blood!

I was able to hide a few of those recipes in my ample bosom before a rather handsome security guard escorted me out of the building. I had my escapade all on tape, but alas, all 20 minutes were missing!

Here are some of the tasty recipes I found...

 
 
 
 














I didn't find any recipes from Robyn. I guess Kody was right - she's too pretty to cook...in the kitchen that is.

YUM, YUM, YUMMY!!! Those Sister Wives sure can cook, can't they?

Well, maybe only in my nightmares they can...


Back to reality, so what happened over the long weekend in polygamy reality land?

Well, it looks like Robyn DID make an appearance (kind of) in a selfie taken by Meri.

Of course I had to google this "City Creek" place. It's in Salt Lake City. So it looks like Meri was able to go to the Keith Urban concert and took some family friends with her. Too bad she didn't take a full body picture of Robyn, but that's all right. TLC needs to build up the "Is she or Isn't she" angle for the next season.



Now this is telling. Didn't Mariah say almost the exact same words when Robyn was pregnant?
#feedingtheflames  #whocares?


And Mariah tells a joke!!!




Maddie, I think you should thank your lucky stars. At least you don't look like Kody Brown in drag!
JUST KIDDING! Aspyn is very pretty!





You know, these people are all over the map. It's impossible to keep up who's where and when! But it sounds like Janelle didn't make the trip back to Utah for the concerts! Must have been her weekend with Kody or something...



Good for you Janelle! Oh, by the way, I'm sure those 6 eggs in her recipe are for the delicious omelet she makes for herself as a side dish for those Peanut Butter Fritos!



I wish I could translate what the heck Christine is talking about in her twitter tweets sometimes.


UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE


This just in from Utah...

J. Lamoine Jenson, Utah polygamist leader, dies at 79



And sadly, comedy lost another icon...

Joan Rivers dead in New York at 81, says daughter



Hmmmm....file this one under Are You Kidding Me?

I just don't believe this. Who is running that online store? Here's the Facebook announcement of  new bracelets now being sold on MSWC for Autism Awareness.

My first thoughts  -  Are any of the proceeds being donated to Autism Awareness? Or, are they being donated directly to the Brown Family Disneyland fund?




I have looked and looked and can't find anywhere on MSWC that says proceeds being donated to Autism Awareness. What is WRONG with those people? Sheesh, put it in print so people won't  automatically say NO if they know part of their purchase is going towards a good cause!

(Now, isn't this interesting, as of 6:20pm PDT, the posting has been "hidden" on the MSWC facebook page. I wonder if it is in the process of being rewritten? No doubt the MSWC admin is checking right this minute with Kody to confirm - Are any of the proceeds being donated for the cause of Autism Awareness. And as of 6:28pm the posting has been completely removed from the MSWC fb page.)

This just in...

As I suspected, the posting was pulled. Here's the official response. By the way, I am now positive a 3rd party is now handling the admin/Customer Care duties on the MSWC Facebook page.



9/5/14

Here's the final word on this fiasco...

"Autism Awareness Rope Bracelet has been removed from your cart because it can no longer be purchased. Please contact us if you need assistance."


Interesting turn of events...

So now my questions are:

1. Does this mean MSWC never intended to donate proceeds to a group supporting Autism Awareness?

Answer: Apparently so. Otherwise they would have simply said "Oops, our bad. We forgot to say that proceeds go to Autism Awareness." Or, "Oops, your bad. The bracelets are to make people aware of Autism, we never said we were donating proceeds." Instead, they pretend this online shopping faux pas never happened by deleting all evidence. Feeble.

2. What happens to all the bracelets?

Answer: If they are working true to form, they will either try to return the bracelets or just pack them away somewhere in Meri's garage. And if they keep the bracelets, I wonder if they will take a tax writeoff for the loss. Let's hope they don't wait a couple of years and put them back on sale on MSWC if they do.

3. Could this fiasco have been avoided?

Answer: Yes it could have definitely been avoided. A high school DECA student would have known better. Whoever is at the helm of MSWC is truly CLUELESS!!!

UPDATE 9/6/14


Not so fast with that final word.

Oh what a difference a day makes....

Yes, the awareness bracelets are back, along with a long explanation of the faux pas that was committed on Thursday, 9/4/14.

You know, if MSWC was being run by people who actually had intelligence and a head for business, it would be a booming success story.

Thanks but no thanks. I'll donate directly to the organization after I've checked them out. And I'll stick with online stores that actually use SSL technology to encrypt sensitive information, thank you very much.

Oh, and this "apology" FB post was definitely written by a Kodette©. Notice the rambling speech. My money is on Christine as the author.
