So, I was doing a little online bargain hunting today and I found the product I wanted for a really great deal. As I was going through the checkout process, however, I saw this:
I immediately stopped to check on the website I was ordering from. It seemed quite likely that it was from China, as I can’t imagine an American company being able to get away with this. I was right, and I soon went ahead and placed my order (sans gift-wrapping, I don’t care how much it helps that my gift-wrap girl is “Movie Fun” or “Super Dancer”). But it made me stop and think that someone out there had to stop and think, “You know, we don’t sell nearly as many gift-wrapped items as the other guys do. People just don’t seem interested anymore. I know! Let’s hire a bunch of slutty models in questionable outfits to pretend to gift-wrap our items and let those sad, lonely people out there pick which one they want to wrap their gift!”
The worst part, I think, is that someone out there thinks that these girls actually are busy wrapping all these gifts. As if “Big Eyes” and “Hot Body” can’t find better jobs out there.
Maybe they just really love to wrap things. They should make a movie about a girl and her dream to wrap items at the biggest random crap warehouse in all of mainland China.
Flashwrap.
