Breaking News About Fake Diet Blogs
Ever minding your own business when you get cut off by a rude driver who then attracts the attention of a cop and gets pulled over? Well we have heard whispers (we can't confirm) that some of the fake diet blogs are attracting the attention of none other than the FTC and FDA with some involvement from the FBI. Go get 'em boys! If you go looking for reviews of some of these miracle Acai berry product sites, there are a whole bunch of customers writing about never having even received the product or having been billed extra. Maybe that's what caught their attention?
It's also pretty amazing how many topic discussion sites devoted to Acai are completely bombarded by people who praise the product up and down and then link to pages that are advertisements to buy that product. Notice almost every topic discussion hosted by Acai promoting sites don't have any negative reviews of the product? When has that ever been the case with the internet? Someone somewhere isn't going to like the taste of it or is going to associate the product with the stomach flu they caught from their cousin. The point is that someone is always going to complain, and you will see those complaints unless they are being censored. Censorship ticks us off. (Of course the hypocrisy is that we would like liars to be censored, and that is sort of the point of this).
It's interesting to see if we get government intervention on the internet about these things. I suppose the "diet blog" fad is kind of like a disease most people don't have immunity to. When people see fake blogs, they don't have the same defense that they would have to say... an infomercial (which is really what they really are). It seems like people see these diet blogs and are more inclined to think it's like the advice of a friend, just another normal person who's just writing about their life. We've all had something at one time or another that got us so excited that we wanted to share it with the world, so when we see those blogs, they pass under the radar. Some day maybe everyone will all have the immunity to fake blogs, but until then we'll keep ours going. Thanks for reading!
