Hint: If You Can’t Buy the Wedding Ring Don’t Screw the Cow
A jeweler is giving away free wedding rings for the truly needy. Like those shown above – taken from their website.
During the month of August, David Tishbi Handcrafted Jewelry, the brand that is in style forever(TM), will review hundreds of submissions letters from couples and draw from those most in need. Winners will get the wedding ring of their choice from the Eternity Collection.
I wonder:
- will people lie?
- will they pawn the rings?
- how did that woman get so shiny?
- did the guy use the same oil on his hair?
- are the models L.A. gay? So why not just dup the image of one or the other?
- why do 12 hand-made wedding rings cost only $1,500? Total.
- how much will $1,500 buy for a foodbank?
I think the jeweler was stuck with some crap and is foisting it off on some unsuspecting couples. These rings look like they were imported from Chernobyl or Three Mile Island.
It’s a great marketing ploy and you bit. Now you’ve just provided free advertising for him (or is he one of your paying sponsors?).
“for the truly needy”…love that! No one NEEDS a wedding ring. I’ve been married a very long time and never had, wanted, or needed one.
As for the models, I think they’ve been playing in the body butter before the nuptials.
I thought about that when I wrote it (free publicity) but what the hey… I guess People of Walmart weren’t available as models. They can be pretty oily too.
It’s a sweet concept, but I wonder the same things you do… except the gay L.A. models one because I’ve never thought of that before, haha. Maybe I’m cynical, but I feel like a lot of people will lie to get ahead (or win free stuff)… and there’s also that cheap things are usually of crappy quality.
I’ve actually read all the way back into her archives! Over the course of two or three days, I actually read every single one of her entries, haha. I like the most recent ones the most because I feel like the comics tell the story so much better than just the words.
“Taco is a little latin lover!” That made me laugh. I love dogs and have two of my own–mutts that we adopted when we moved from one city to another close by in a neighboring state, but they’re getting on in age. They’re ten now.
