Damn my Mom would look hot in that!
Figleaves.com, one of the overzealous e-mailers I spoke of on my last post, sent me the most curious e-mail today:
Subject: Top 10 gift ideas for Mother's Day plus FREE shipping on all orders at figleaves.com
From: "figleaves. com fashion editor"
To: me.
For those that don't know, figleaves is an online store that sells lingerie, and some other articles of clothing that may not get you laid.
Why would anyone, ever, anywhere, buy their mother lingerie for Mother's day?
That's just sick. Bad figleaves, Bad.
And don't tell me that the nearly-approaching-orgasm woman displayed in the e-mail has nothing to do with the Mother's Day promotion, because I know web design, bucko. Pay attention! You see the green circle declaring your savings? Now look at the mother's day banner that falls torwards the bottom of the screen. Same green. They do that to promote a relationship between two objects on different parts of the web page. Also, please note the pink background behind the NAO, and the background of the Mother's Day message. Same pink.
It's bad enough that I get calls from my mother telling me that her new medication has brought her up to a "full D", but now I have to deal with figleaves suggesting I buy her lingerie.
Ew.

Hysterical post! Though I do feel compelled to thank you, in the most sarcastic of tones, for forcing me to imagine your mom (AND MINE!) in that get up.
GLOL @ NOA woman!
Fear not, scott; Gay sons are the exception to the "only complete creeps and psychotics buy their mothers frilly undergarments."
