We've been seeing a rash of off topic reviews recently. These are typically very well written and pretty funny joke reviews (or photos) posted on a real product, service, or local business page.
Unfortunately, we need to delete these, per our site rules.
Behind every product, local business, brand, and service provider on the site, there is a real company with real marketing people, and sadly, real lawyers. These people tend to get really pissed off when RateItAll allows our regulars to post jokes on their pages. For these folks, their online brand reputation is no laughing matter.
So if you see your off topic joke reviews of real products, services, brands, and local businesses go up in smoke, this is the reason.
We tend to be much more lenient on the member created lists about whether something is off topic. The beauty of RIA is that you can usually find an acceptable place to post just about anything on your mind.

A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and one night he's doing a show in a small club in a small town in Arkansas. With his dummy on his knee, he's going through his usual dumb blond jokes when a blond woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting: ''I've heard enough of your stupid blond jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the color of a person's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's guys like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community and from reaching our full potential as a person, because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against, not only blonds, but women in general...and all in the name of humor!''
ReplyDeleteThe ventriloquist is embarrassed and begins to apologize, when the blond yells, ''You stay out of this, mister! I'm talking to that little jerk on your knee!''
