All I Can Say Is ...GRRR!

This afternoon, I popped on briefly while my littlest one was napping. I headed over to http:/www.testosterhome.net and saw a clever little video of Rachel and her husband dancing. It was similar to the recent photo I saw of my Aunt Audrey (with the really ripped body of Princess Leia's mother!). After viewing it, I chose to make my own and uploaded photos of my sons. My husband and two little ones watched it several times, just chuckling away. It was bloody brilliant! I must say!

So, I proceeded to follow the instructions to share the supposedly-FREE sendable e-card to my blog. I headed over to my blog and viewed the funny thing one more time. Then, we headed off for an afternoon of swimming.

We just discovered a pool that is only 25 minutes away and has a decent kiddie area, a lazy river, slides and a diving board. The price for the 4-7 session was unbelievable. We paid only $6 for the four of us (since the two little ones are free). This is less than we would pay for one person to enter the DeKalb pool. We plan to go again when ES is home with us. They even have a skate-park near the pool! ES will be stoked!

After swimming and fine dining at McDonald's (where YS ate an entire cheeseburger by himself, along with half a small fry and a few apple dippers - also unbelievable), we headed home for baths and bed. I logged on again to view the funny video on my blog.

Here is where the GRRRR comes! There was the Jib Jab video, but, alas, the faces were no longer the faces of my sons, but the crazy man faces they offered in the regular version. I scanned my mail and discovered an e-mail which stated that I was so close to sharing my clever video that I could smell it. All I supposedly had to do was enter a code in the verification line.

I returned to the Jib Jab site and looked at my account. No verification box. Plus, the video in my account showed my son's faces below the video, but when I clicked play it always inserted the crazy man faces! GRRRR! I finally deleted the post from my blog.

I'm guessing that this is a classic example of the bait and switch method. Offer me something clever for FREE! Get me all excited! Get my taste buds tantalized for sharing my clever boys doing their dancing groove and rocking my world! Then, make the video unavailable to share in this way, unless you purchase a paid subscription to Jib Jab! (I'm really screaming, I just didn't want to inundate you with all-caps)

A hex upon you, Jib Jab! However, if you want to see a video for yourself, head over to Rachel's blog (it is worth it, even without her funny video - in fact, she posted another great dance video a little while back). Then, just for the fun of it, make your own. At least you can view it while you make it. Who knows maybe you'll even be able to send it for FREE! Maybe they just don't like ME!
