Hiring the right contractor

Anita and Weldon Wilson of Hedgesville, W.V. just wanted their house to be wheelchair accessible. What they got was a contractor that took $129,000 in payments and another $45,000 for the “materials that he used”…  After the contractor took off with the Wilson’s money and left them with incomplete projects all over their home, the Wilson’s had no choice but to seek help.

Along with filing a lawsuit in order to recover the fraudulant fees that they encountered, the Wilson’s searched for a platform to address this issue and help others from encountering it. Lucky for them, Angieslist.com was available.

Godaddy NBC commercial

Controversial and edgy commercials are a standard for domain purchasing and hosting website Godaddy.com- priding it as an essential part of their business. CEO and founder, Bob Parson takes pride in seductive commercials that grasp the attention of viewers. Incorporating gorgeous babes into their campaigns and advertisements such as auto driver Danika Patrick is a standard. During the recent U.S. Open Championship, one of Godaddy’s commercials that featured Patrick in a bright red Mustang convertible was pulled the night before it aired. The question remains however whether it was Lexus or NBC that pulled the ad.

The night before the commercial aired, Godaddy frantically forwarded NBC a replacement commercial. While Godaddy initially accused Lexus, the broadcast sponsor, of pulling the advertisement, they are beginning to think twice about their accusation.

Godaddy initially believed that Lexus pulled the commercial because Patrick was driving a Ford vehicle, a direct competitor of Lexus. Lexus however, has assured it wasn’t them. “We are innocent,” says Nancy Hubbell, a Lexus spokeswoman. With many emails and voice-mails to NBC left unanswered,it is only natural to start and question whether NBC pulled the ‘racy’ advertisement.

Lindsay Lohan on eHarmony

Lindsay Lohan, Hollywood actress, recently hit the internet in search of love. Lohan was recently spotted on popular humor website FunnyOrDie.com in a satirized version of of an eHarmony commercial.

eHarmony, the popular dating website where customers enter character traits in order to be linked with a compatible mate of their dreams acts as a match-maker. It looks as though Lohan is in search of a man ( or women in recent cases) who she can, “…spend the rest of her life with her; or at least, the rest of her probation.”

With multiple accusations, fines, and arrests on Lohan’s record, the short reel proves to be truthful yet comical at the same time. Lohan’s most recent brush with law enforcement involved a restraining that ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson allegedly wanted to take out on her.

Hopefully eHarmony.com can find her a new compatible match, or at least a new ‘partner’ in crime. If you think you can handle it, search for client #612679 and drop Lohan a message. If you are new to eHarmony get 1 month free when you sign up for a 3 month subscription using our promotional code for eHarmony
