Shopping channel snark

I just read that over there. Someone’s panties are in a bunch once again.

I read the other board, too. Looks like the complainers took one on the chin this time, though, if I read it correctly. Hopefully I did. Otherwise they are fast turning into QVC Forums 2

Couldn’t believe the 80 buck price tag on tnat hair twisty thing. It looks like a medieval torture device(if Torquemada had electricity that is) and I didn’t think tne “afters” were very attractive on the models either. Pass.

I didn’t run off any newbies. If any left, it was because they didn’t like the rules of the SDMB.

The shopping snarkers that have chosen to stay and accept our rules are awesome and fun and a great addition to this board. I think it’s all working out splendidly. I’m sorry you’re unsatisfied with the situation.

Although I have worn my Anuschka handbags on most days with no precipitation, there were occasions where they were exposed to light rain. When that happened, I just gently wiped the raindrops off without a problem. I usually don’t wear these bags on days with heavy rain or snow (I live outside of NYC). As far as wear, mine have all held up well, and I’ve had mine for a few years. And you did spell Anuschka right :slight_smile:

Holy shit. You’re telling me that if I spend $199 on your product and I don’t like it, I’m screwed? Does your marketing team know you’re bragging about this in public?

Hmmm…don’t think I’ve ever seen Jill B on with the Grater before. Think I’ll give it a spin, just to see if she can keep Grater under some kind of control. If anybody can do it (besides Officer Brown), our Frau can! :smiley:

Haha. Now you understand exactly why we snark about them. :smiley:

Yes, I enjoy posting in those threads. The atmosphere is casual and the posters are civil and for the most part, sympathetic, as well. Those threads wouldn’t be out of place in Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share.

Ditto. I don’t know why he’s allowed to get away with free advertising. If not a banning, at least he should be required to buy a membership and post in the Marketplace. :mad:

I’m really surprised by the lack of more posters here from the other place. There are some of the regulars (at old site) who are top snarkers still posting but also seems to be quite a few new ones popping in. I personally don’t like the heavy handed control. There aren’t any starting pics like there used to be after the mods words just say head to the phones. Did they disallow the pics, too?

We can’t return him.

Calista hair goop being presented. Lulz at the Frau telling “us” how she thinks some of us are stuck in never wanting to try anything new with our hair. From the woman who had essentially the same [unflattering] hair cut for 20 odd years. LOL Although she has grown it / softened it up recently, and it looks much better lately.

Confession: I am intrigued by that particular hair goop product though. Think it would work well on my longish hair, which is thick, but finely textured and super straight and so could always use moar volume. Not rushing to the phones! for it, though.

P.S. and btw, thanks for the reporting as spam on the LC exec. Personally, if I were in charge of any of these outfits, I would take the opportunity to mine any snark for ways to improve and more effectively get into the consumer’s wallet, instead of crying about it. Crazy, I know.

I see what you did there. :smiley:

If the shopping channels were smart, they would definitely take the time to read the various independent boards. In the midst of the snarking, I have read some very perceptive commentary upon the problems the shopping channels are experiencing and some excellent suggestions on how to move forward with fixing them. Of course, in the real world such issues are more complex, but the ideas are here.

Any consumer-driven enterprise needs to keep pace with what the consumer wants. The Q seems to be trying to drag their consumer along behind them instead. And it’s falling flat.

You guys are coming up with some damn funny stuff. I am glad I welcomed you and I am glad you came here.

Thanks, Dr. Deth! Always nice to hear and glad you are enjoying our silliness. Now what do we have to do to get you playing along? :smiley: P.S. and btw…we’re always open for business and no membership fees are required!

Okay, this just in…another piece of the puzzle in place as to how JRT supposedly “invented Ireland.” I just heard her say that she is part Irish (knew that), and that her husband is “100% Irish.” Irish-American, is my guess, but we’re getting somewhere. Because, surprisingly, official history resources I have tried are silent on the subject of our Ego Elf’s contributions to the discovery of Ireland. :confused:

Ooooo. Just waiting for the moment I can come on here and really rip it up. Christmas has taken priority and something that is supposed to be so good is turning Puddy into a bigger bitch than usual.

One quick comment to my Board Babes -

Those nails were filled in but she did not bother to get a new set. You could still see every fill line from her cuticle to the tip. Decent nail ladies know how to avoid this learner’s mistake…or they paint the nails to cover up their lack o’experience.

Since Lisa has gone to this same nail lady for ages and has never noticed how God-awful her nails have looked for the past twenty years, this was no surprise to me.

It only underscored the entire clusterfuckiness of the entire four hour drama.
Note to Dr. Deth ~~

You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.

She wants to outdo Al Gore.

Indeed! If only I had a time machine to go back and see the look on her face finding out Al Gore beat her to claiming to have invented the internet. Sigh. :frowning:

My dearest bitch Puddy, glad to see you will be joining in when you are able. Good luck with all your BAH HUMBUG Day preparations! :slight_smile:
