‘You can’t believe everything you read in a blog’

May 5th, 2009 · 60 Comments · Blogging

A knock on the door tonight was very odd – we never get anyone actually knocking on the apartment door. I answered it and two women smiled at me. I thought Jehovahs Witnesses but I then spied a little book with the name Victoria Jackson on it.

I said Oh I’d heard of it –

VJ: ‘Where said they.’

MP: Beaut.ie and they didn’t like it.’

VJ: Oh you can’t believe everything you read on a blog. (They said blog rather than web  – I never mentioned blog!)

MP: Eh actually I….

And then I stopped and thought I don’t need to start that one on my doorstep. I closed the door and locked it. I don’t need the grief of a debate on consumer knowledge and intelligence and I don’t buy something like makeup from the door.

Read The Beauts post that I remembered and all the readers comments.

I don’t think you should believe everything you read on a blog – but I do trust Beaut.ie and am laughing at the sales pitch being used by the poor unfortunate sales staff to rebut anyone who may have read about them. Like you should always believe a sales person and their bumph.
