Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Just had to comment on the flashy advertisement at the top of the page.

"Can you dig it? Suckaaaaaa"

I guess I can't dig it, because alienating potential customers by calling them names doesn't seem to make sense to me.

Maybe I'm just not hip. Ha ha ha.

Oh well, free country. And that I can dig!

i'm sorry, did we hurt your feelings? i have a hard time believing you are not joking, but then you get back support from other sensitives, hmmmmmm....

"can you dig it, sucka" is a catch phrase from Booker T from the WWE. actually it is pretty entertaining, especially when he does it. he is a wrestler. it is a goof.

i suppose our banner that says "super dope" leads you to believe we support "super strength drugs" too. "hey kids, go get hooked on heroin!" sheesh.

dude, get a sense of humor, and practice with it sometime. life goes by easier that way.

Yes, I was joking. Hence the "ha ha ha" and the self-targeted remark that I wasn't hip.

Didn't mean to get you so worked up.

A word of advice, though: If you can't take tongue-in-cheek criticism of your business, then you have issues. It was a harmless joke-of-a-post, and you turn around and respond with immaturity, insult, and an utter lack of business tact. Nice move.

Sincerely,

Brandon

I believe that Robyn said that he thought you were joking. Then he makes a comment about how ralphsnakeman throws some support behind your joking at his joking. What happens if ralphsnakeman was joking with his response to your joking at Robyn's joking. Let us agree to not take things too seriuosly when we start a tongue in cheek thread. I have 6 ball pythons, 1 blood python, 3 rosy boas, and 2 yellow ackies from PE. Robyn and his people have excellent reptile business tact. It seems to me that one of the purposes of his banners is to grab your attention and set their ads apart from other ads. It seems to have worked.

Now, can you dig that....sucka

Personally, I would have never known where the quote came from--and therefore (had I seen the ad) would find it to be a rather stupid ad...not everyone is a fan of wrestling.

the one that you run that says Super Whiz. Are you trying to say that I don't have a functioning toilet at home and must hold it until I get to work? I feel alienated. Another one that makes me mad is that upside down boaphile plastics ad. Is he trying to say that I am hanging from my ceiling like a bat? I assure you that I am not a bat and my toilet works just fine.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to use the restroom.

Because I did not mean to start such an uproar. It was a joke, not taken as one apparently, and I surrender. LOL. Let's delete the whole thread and start over, for the sake of the forum.
