Sometimes, the ads just know...

So I just got up to the story about the twits who let WifeSwap misrepresent the SCA. That led me to a BBS thread where the couple defend themselves, none too ably -- as a lot of people there point out, regardless of how little "reality TV" has to do with reality, altogether too many people *do* believe this stuff. There's nothing in this exercise except tsurris for the SCA, as we get to spend the next year dealing with people whose first reaction is, "Hey, were you those loonies on TV?".

And there, at the bottom of the page, after that entire aggravating thread, is the advertisement: "Lower Your Blood Pressure" with this "clinically proven device". Perfect product placement, if ever I've seen it...

Did he write about that publically anywhere? I'm curious. (didn't see it in his most recent public LJs.)

At any rate, we can always say "Must have been Amtguard." Or whatever.

It was in his LJ. Let me check... in a locked post.

I'm a little shocked to discover that I'm on one of his filters. :-)

His comment was copied to a public post, with permission. On tribe.net, not LJ.

Will go look -- my thanks to both of you!

Thanks for the point-out. Prior comment deleted. (I hadn't realized the lock til you said so.)

One person on the Tribe.net forum was offering to buy him a drink for the good call.

That comment was posted to the Middle Bridge as well. It's public knowledge by now.
