Basically what happened is when people went online to order flowers from their local florist, Proflowers had a banner saying that ABC Flowers were sold out, when they were not, along with a link to proflowers.com

It's amazing what you find out about a company after the light starts shining upon them.

1. So if a woman receives flowers from ProFlowers, what is her boyfriend saying?

that she's a slut and a whore?

or that he hopes she will be a slut and a whore?


I see an ad campaign in the making!

2. Sounds like they go hand in hand with Rush. Also sounds like they are afraid of competition.

4. They've been sued multiple times

for unfair marketing practices. (source wikipedia)

They are a sleazy company with a sleazy pig-faced mascot.

5. I agree it's pretty sleezy, but...

If one looks closely, they will see "Ads" in the right corner. That is nothing more than an advertisement and I personally never click on those.

Unfortunately, some people will click on those embedded ads.
