This thread seems to be about pointless shaming, the persons shamed will probably never see this. Some people just have enough money, so at best they are guilty of earning it poorly.]]> Jasper1984 General Sat, 12 Oct 2013 08:13:48 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,253459,253960#msg-253960 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,253459,253960#msg-253960 johnrpm General Fri, 11 Oct 2013 14:31:08 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,253459,253936#msg-253936 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,253459,253936#msg-253936
Perhaps "screw you" is something jokey and fun to non-native speakers, and even could be seen as "edgy" for a youth demographic, but I doubt there is appeal to people buying designer home products. And if you were, I would expect a little more than reusing plastic bottles.

Of course, if the "screw you" brand becomes a cult hit and they make millions, I will have to eat my 3d printed hat :)]]> bobc General Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:08:44 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,253459,253908#msg-253908 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,253459,253908#msg-253908 -------------------------------------------------------
> A fool and their money are easily parted!

That's the point I guess but who is the fool here? IMHO the fool is he who tries to sell cheap things at a ridiculous price and gets no custom. However, as soon as a sale is made, the fool immediately becomes genius marketeer, passing his fool hat to his customer(s). (Is that philosophical enough?) :)
