Edited the main post for clarity. That is not MY story, I received it from a friend of mine online today. SHE added the spamish stuff, those were her words. Let me see if I can edit out the stuff about our company, that was really not my intent. I just copy/pasted her email, I guess it didn't hit me how spamish HER email was.

I need to stop reading your posts, I guess since I thought this was an actual post, not spam type of stuff.

I know business is supposedly great, but I do wonder if it would be even better if the guilt factor wasn't used...or maybe it would be worse and that's been proven...

Anyway, I didn't realize when clicking on this post that it was a creative title to get people to come read about your business.

I hope that mom who lost her child does not know that she is being used as a bad example as to why to use your products. But hey, if she'd used those products, she would have been a good mom and her life would be perfect, right? Heck, if those products will make my life perfect, sign me up! (This is sarcasm, I am not interested in the company at all and posts like this turn me off of it even more.)

I like you as a person, but I hate these techniques.

Claiming ignorance and blaming something on someone else is no excuse.
Besides the fact that if someone is truly on "life support" they wouldn't need to be "sedated" or even be able to "open their eyes".

Jess is this really a true story? I think it is disgusting? I could not find a link online and it is so using emotion to sell. Is it malelucha you sell? I love malelucha products and buy them but I can't stand this tactic.

I personally would like to see a link to a story or obit since

This is real, people! I held this child in my arms when he was born, I was at his baptism and his birthdays….now he is gone.

If not, maybe this post needs to be deleted and/or spam added to the title.

Me too. Especially due to the emotional aspect of the post.

I knew it was spam by the title and the poster, I had to open it to see if I was just being an ass and pre-judging. I was right though. Their tactics are horrible. I agree. That is one of the reasons I have no respect for this company whatsoever. I want to like you littlemamajess, but I can't believe you didn't post this purely for the spam aspect.

That isn't true, peole on life support are sedated all the time and open their eyes.

It sounds an awful lot like the Swiffer Wet Jet story that's an urban legend. I checked snopes for this particular story, but it's not there.

i searched the pittsburg papers and local news sites but cant find anything about it. one would think, that if it were true, it would be all over the news

if its true its such an awful thing to happen.
if its not true - its horrible than anyone would send this to you jess!

Debra · 08-22-2004, 11:54 PM

I personally don't think Jess would post this for the SPAM aspect of it. She's not like that!

And if the person who sent this to her & knew it wasn't true, then shame on them!

It's such a sad story. I'd really hate for it to be true!

Here's the MSDS info on Resolve Carpet Cleaner. As far as I can tell, this stuff may burn the skin and or esophagus, but one squirt in the mouth would not cause convulsions and death within 18 hours. If anyone has proof to the contrary, please correct me.

Not picking on you Jess, but this is how urban legends get started.

My heart is breaking for this family. My thoughts go out to them today as they do probally the hardest thing any mother ever has to do. Off to hug my little man right now and be thankful that he is healthy and safe. I will post any more info I receive about articles, obituaries, ect. Until then please keep this family in your thoughts/prayers, I'm sure they could use them right now.

This is untrue...
When my Mom was in the Hospital, in ICU, on *life support* she was sedated to prevent her from pulling her tubes out and to let the machines do the breathing for her. If she was awake she would fight against the life support machine. When the medication was decreased she could, and did, open her eyes.
