Why is MN flogging that 'Samantha Smythe' book and pretending it is part of MN and the talk page??

[moondog]

It looks shit anyway but I just question strange and slightly dodgy tactics.

You've lost me a bit, Moondog. Can you explain a bit more what you mean by strange and slightly dodgy tactics?

Blimey,you actually read this stuff?

It is a link to what seems to be a blog that is part of MN but is in fact a clevelry designed ad.
I smell a rat (although not one the size of Aptimilgate and Aventgate)

I must say I had wondered and bit my tongue, I personnally LOATHE that sort of writing - " me and my chaotic household" stuff.

I don't think my own chaotic household is particularly interesting or funny so why would i want to read anyone else's?

No offence menat by this.

And what about that old Nutella ad, eh? eh?

(Talking of strange and slightly dodgy tactics)

I mean I lurve Nutella, but I am a fat old bag, not a lithe and healthy infant

Exactly Horshish.
And furthermore,if we do want to read about that sort of stuff,it is here,for free and NOT MADE UP.

i never read it
sounds naff

liked I don't Know How she Does it though

that was naff but clever

But she is doing her Blog on mumsnet - in character as it were. Of course it's promoting the book/character but it's also content (not just advertising) so I can't see how it's dodgy tbh. Of course whether you like it or not is a whole different ball game .

Tell her it's crap.
