The Diva had been encouraged to submit her website to "Socialspark" by one of her readers, so I figured...Hey, what the heck, why not? I love networking with other bloggers. Imagine my surprise when I received this message today from what ironically is called "Customer Love"
Dear Aging Disco Diva,
Thank you for your interest.
Unfortunately at this time, we are unable to approve your blog for the following reasons:
Blogs submitted may not include or support: excessive profanity, violence, or racial intolerance, illicit drugs or drug paraphernalia, pornography, adult or mature content, or any other content that promotes intolerance, illegal activity, or infringes on the legal rights of others.
Though this is the case, worry not, as our Advertisers may still add you to their Street Teams, or contact you directly about other opportunities.
Once your blog meets all of our Terms of Service, please feel free to resubmit, and I shall review it again.
Thanks!
WTF?
I was so friggin' offended by this email that I grabbed some champagne...oh....I get it... the Diva discussing her champagne chugging must be violent and or illegal...holy carp... they should see what I just did to that whole case of Godiva chocolates.
Well "Customer Love", the Diva would like you to know that you can:
Goodness! Pornography!
and that I will resubmit my blog for review when:
Mercy, such foul language!
All joking aside, I was royally offended by that email (I like to think I am, at my worst, a "PG" rating) I could care less if they "approve" my blog; I like it just fine, but to lump it in with hate and porno websites pissed (oops, there goes that excessive profanity again) me off. Though I do appreciate that reader encouraging me to join, I don't think Socialspark has developed their "humor" Mission Statement yet, and as such is obviously not ready for my fabulousness. Oh well, their loss. I think I will be sending my flying monkeys to take care of business.... oh wait a minute... that is promoting violence isn't it?
