... and so thought I'd play the send fake emails to companies in the hope of a response game.

I sent this...

Dear Mr Herbal Essences,
    I am writing to express concern about one of your products - The Herbal Essences Rainforest Flowers range. I'm sure you are aware of the current crisis involving the deforestation of the worlds rainforests. A problem which causes the ruins the habitat and thus causes extinction of a great many species of creatures and plants.

Whilst I can't argue with the smooth shine it left my hair with, I find it greatly disturbing that you openly support and are part of such a man caused ecological disaster with your Rainforest Flowers range of shampoos and conditioners. I request that you reconsider this particular product and hope you consider the global implications of business practices in the future.

Thank you,
A concerned consumer.

... to proctor and gamble. I hope they email back saying doesn't actually contain rainforest flowers. That's like false advertisement or something.

:D

Really soapy tit wank-ed at this bit...



 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

yeah I was annoyed about the extra with at the end. should have worded it better. I had the idea when I was in the shower this morning but typed it out a bit quick.  I doubt I'll get a response until tomorrow now.

Don't stop there Ben. You have to go on a pointless crusade of wasting peoples time.

You should write to the FA and officially retire from International football.

There's a book where a guy does this sort of thing already (sorry)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1843171082

Still funny though

im gonna get that

I like one of the reviews where someone says that reading the book was a waste of time.
Surely he could of guessed that from the title.....

do it!

Gay I just got a standard response thing.

meh

You need to reply to that FB.  How the hell does that address your concerns about the rainforest.  Surely you need a firm commitment from Proctor and Gamble that they are going to act as a socially responsible company from now on.

What rainforests are these flowers taken from?  Who picks these flowers?  Is this back breaking work being carried out by 5 year old peruvian orphans for 20 pence a week?

Surely you are shocked and surprised by a company such as Proctor and Gamble acting in this way.  Mail Chris Martin from Coldplay about it he'll sort the fuckers out!!

This is a great thread  :D   I like the idea of writing to the football league now!

My friend suggested this for a response;

The advert is also a health risk as its advertised with a naked woman standing in a lavender field and surely she would get stung by bees as bees love lavender? Surely the smell of the product may also attract bees, proving a risk to the consumer.

Yeah think I'll reply later.

Make sure it's an angry reply, this is the kind of thing socially repsonsible people get pretty fucking angry about.

someone find me the address for the FA, i'm going to write to them saying that i - mr coon shooter - has announced his retirement from international football

shouldnt you be heading off to CG soon?  :o

it doesn't take me that long to drive to swindon. i'm just finishing my lunch 8)

Nah say that you are coming out of international retirement and are available for selection again.

Then renounce your decision in November.

shouldnt this be the FAI as you were born in the centre circle at lansdown road and all that? :wink:

i've got dual nationality, i'm effectively declaring myself as available for eire only

Wig or implants?
