That's my two copper Lincolns, anyway.
I agree... How could you take it that seriously, given the hordes mal information. I've found more errors in their listings than I've found correctness. Probably the worst offense, is the ad for Guava, when it's a Feijoa. It looks to me more like there's quite a disconnect from the person who grows, to the person who's in charge of their marketing plan. All that said, when I looked up their business profile in public records, they were pretty profitable, so chances are, there's enough ignorant/uneducated banana buyers out there to keep them in business after all of these years. And... reality is.. .sex sells, whether we like it or not. Though I am not trying to defend anyone, I personally have found much more offensive marketing ploys than this with other retailers including people using god as their 'safety/trust shield', soooo...
