What’s wrong with people?
The poor kid… Read the customer review…
That was … wierd.
I wonder how true that story is.
Apparently the Eye of Sauron is green in his mom’s world…
What the heck is wrong with it? It looks kind of pretty to me.
It’s not my cup of tea, but I would say this kid’s got problems other than what he thinks of as an ugly ring. A mother knows you smile and say “How lovely” no matter how hideous the present. And you wear it with pride. In fact, I have squashed co-workers who mocked a flower arrangement by telling them “My children made it” in an icy voice.
This sounds a bit fishy to me.
Looks like someone doesn’t understand the concept of “product review”.
I burning your ring!
Another suspicious mark: spelling and grammar errors, but then:
Suddenly, the writing style smacks of Victorian novella!
What really got me was this part:
LMAO.
I used to make crappy glue-the-plastic-jewel-onto-the-clipon-earring jewelry for my mom when I was little. She told me how much she loved it, praised my mad jewelry crafting skillz, and shortly after put them away in her jewelry box “so they won’t get broken.”
She must have really thought they were pretty!
I still have necklace my daughter made for me about 30 years ago, when she was 7 or 8. Links made with paper and sealed with something gluey that still smells.
I hope the review is a fake, but I don’t think it is. Mom tried to “burn” the ring? Who’d make that up? It’s too weird.
Maybe the dog was wearning it at the time.
It looks precious.
Aww. That’s sweet:) I really do think my mom liked the ugly earrings I was always making her, but because she never actually wore them in public and they managed to get lost in the process of moving, I like to tease her about her secret burning hatred of them from time to time. I mean, the things WERE as ugly as a one-eared chihuahua with leprosy.
I doubt the story was serious, but that may be because my sense of humor is a bit strange and the idea of my mom burning one of my hideous childhood creations cracks me up (well, ok, not if she REALLY did it D: ) and I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody else thought the same thing. Or maybe it’s wishful thinking, because things that are funny in theory are crazy mean in reality.
Well why not use the product review section on Amazon just to be weird? Think of how many products have no review, and you can just pop in there and tell them a wonderful story about this product. Why not?
I know there were Christmas ornaments that I made as a child, that were probably about as ugly as the earrings you made your mom, that I wished she would burn or lose in a move. It was humiliating to have to look at them and know that I had made something that butt-ugly.
Did she think it was the One Ring or something? I thought everybody knew by now that the One Ring doesn’t have any stones in it…
The writing is odd. Her face tightened? That sounds straight out of a novel to me.
It’s an ugly ring–and looks even masculine, but mom is stupid if she thinks she can burn it. I think this is a kid flexing his/her creative writing skills.
Well, WAS the review helpful to you?
I burning your ring
This isn’t the only fake, humorous review on Amazon. There’s lots of people who leave those, but there’s so many things on the site that it’s easy to never run across them. Most of the folks who leave them look for items like this with no reviews as yet.
Seriously, though, y’all are faking, right? None of you are gullible enough to even consider the possibility that the review was real, right?
It’s precious.
