So, I hear there is a new law that says that if a company sends a blogger free stuff and the blogger writes about the product, they also have to say “And WidgetCo sent this to me to review…” or something.<\/p>\n
Let’s get something straight, OK? If you are a company who wants to sell stuff (especially if it is stuff that my readership [ie, my family] is into), you are more than welcome to send it to me. I will review it. I will say that it is the most amazing thing ever and I will say it even if the product is lousy. WANT FREE THINGS.<\/p>\n
This goes double for people who make the following items:<\/p>\n
1) Gray pants<\/p>\n
2) Perfume (but nothing ghetto fabulous or “designed” by a tacky celebrity)<\/p>\n
3) Those dealywhackers that live in your car and give you directions. (Seriously. I live in a city with not one but many spots where Smith Street intersects with Smith Street, near where Smith Street intersects Smith Glen St and Smith Grove Avenue. One of our doctor’s appointments last Friday was on one of these intersections and I sincerely thought we might have to abandon the car and become hobos).<\/p>\n
4) High thread count sheets (or Wamsutta – my new favorite bed sheets cost $30 and the thread count is lower, but the brand is better, so I think I came out ahead)<\/p>\n
5) Dish Network. Or DirecTV. Or Time Warner Cable, I don’t care. (Especially if I can have a free DVR).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
