Well, the number of people who ordered laser grips and thought the gun came with it is now up to five.

The "gentleman" who emailed me today about his grips asked, "what's the deal? Where's the rest of the package? Your website says this is a package deal."

Um, no, you dolt. You don't get a $259 laser sight and an $800 Sig P220 for $259.

What really scares me is that these people may vote.

Ah... the wonders of the internet. And BTW, don't you have any grips for the Glock 7?  grin

Sometimes dumb people on the Internet can be a good thing.  These "Dumb people on the Internet" click on bogus virus warning windows or surf porn sites and keep me in the malware removal business.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

In regards to showing LaserGrips on guns, my suggestion is to do what I've seen in some other catalogs.

Take the picture. Go into Photoshop, and tint the gun an impossible color like orange, blue, or just grey it out with increased brightness, leaving only the lasergrips looking normal.

For holsters, put a Redgun in it instead.

And include a statement in the photo of GUN NOT INCLUDED.

Yes, people are that stupid.

Tuesdays are the worst for internet idiots

Why? It's maintenence day on this game i play.

So people sit in the game tuesday afternoon after the server's are back up and whine about how the game was down all day.


WAAAAH.

Things like "WE'RE PAYING FOR THE GAME LOLWUT"

I wonder why they're not all at work tuesday morning instead of trying to play.

Whats more, they KNOW now that tuesday is maintenence day.


Or how bout this: "I didn't pay attention during the tech training because I knew I would have you guys here to do it for me"

I just ran through your site, Monkey.

You're going to continue to have this problem until you start marking the photos AND the ads that the gun is not included.

I started a few weeks back selling items from the site. Crimson Trace laser grips so far have been the most popular.

During the past few weeks, I've had two customers buy laser grips, thinking that the pistol in the photo came with the grips. Yup. They think that for $190 they can get a set of laser grips and a Glock.

It's funny, except for dealing with the returns.


I suppose that is one of the reasons why most advertisements for products that are typical associated with another product explicitly state exactly what is and is not included in the picture.

Well, then.  Perhaps next time he'll listen when the Universe tells him "you better don't!"
