The Curious Product Shots of Basement Shelving on Amazon

I was in the market for some sturdy shelving for the basement and looked on Amazon. What I found wasn't so much helpful as it was odd.

Quite a few shelving units had an attractive woman standing next to the shelving unit to assumedly show scale. But these women were dressed for a Vegas bachelorette party or a bitcoin commercial, not for stacking laundry detergent.

I mean, I get it. Maybe most basement shelf purchasers are men. So sure, let's hook them with a gussied up busty blonde and then let their dick make the purchasing decisions. 

I guess the alternative is showing some young dude jumping midair. And now I don't know if the shelving is huge or that guy is tiny as a 4th grader. You can't win!

Buyer Beware: Facebook Quilt Scam

Never buy a quilt from a Facebook ad.

Chances are it's just a Photoshopped quilt using the same template.

Same background, same quilt shape, same folded lower right corner.

Once you know it's a template, it's easy to spot everywhere.

Sometimes scammers will add a quilted texture to help make it more realistic.

Some of these designs are admittedly pretty cool, too.

And some are fucking godawful.

But either way, save your money and keep scrolling. Or knit your own quilt, you lazy Facebooking asshole.

Oh, also keep an eye out for this nice lady. She's another quilt scam template.
