What *not* to buy for the holidays:

#FabFitFun jumps on the Elon train, spending big on #Twitter ads and using Musk’s “go fuck yourself” as a discount code.

“The ad felt like a rude political intrusion into lifestyle retail. One user wrote, ‘Just in case anybody thinks of trying FabFitFun, the owners are right-wing Trumpers who are enamoured with Elon & snarl ‘woke’ under their breath.’”

FabFitFun, a $1 billion subscription box startup, frantically backpedals after a profane, pro-Elon Musk ad bombs

The ad offered users a free gift with their first box if they used the code “GoF–kYourself."

"FabFitFun, a $1 billion subscription box startup, frantically backpedals after a profane, pro–Elon Musk ad bombs"

 

WTF did they think it was a good idea to :

a) Put their ads on Twitter?

b) Tell their customer to use a GoF--kYourself rebate code. (I don't know if the code was meant to be censored or not.)

Good god! The idiocy! It burns!!! I've tried a couple subscription services. They sucked. If you've got a good thing going, why ruin it?

Real FabFitFun Twitter ad I was served tonight

I had canceled in July because I wasn't nuts about the next box and was moving so figured I should save the money anyway. I was considering...
