I like the 24 % and vote for more polls?

all the info is not included in poll, do the deals help candidates or merely help big corps like Amazon(sorry veg)that are selling them, are they merely for profiting a fly by night getup biz. that poll is swayed to ?????

poll are incunclusive and incomplete, and leaning, but polls usually always are. me, I booed Amazon over the tacky christmas ornments.

(Like anyone not in a cave isn't already sick of hearing about politics this year)

What is warm today may be HOT tommorrow when it CAN'T be bought link

At this moment there is a blatantly racist political product being touted as a "hotdeal" on the Hotdeals forum. "Obama Waffles Mix $9.99 a box possibly Keepsake." The "product has a picture of Obama on the front instead of Aunt Jemima! On the lid it has Obama's picture with an Arab like head piece!

The "product" was unveiled at a the Family Research Council Convention, and even the TFRC has banned the "product!"

I think enough is ENOUGH!!!

Fatwallet should jerk these stupid political posts just as fast as they start... no apologies, no debates, no waiting to see how people react...that approach yielded this piece of KKK *hit on the Hotdeals Forum!!

Wake and up and ban this political crap!!

I agree that true hot deals should be allowed, and examples like the post above should not. The problem is that it'll end up being a judgement call for the moderator, and these "deals" will almost always get moderated.

On a side note, I've always wondered about the logic of just locking these threads instead of just deleting them entirely, especially the offensive ones like the waffles.

Edit: Corrected speeling.

I'm voting to keep this off FW and I have political aspirations..
FWIW, if these type of deals keep getting posted, I would imagine
a massive influx of thread crapping from a candidates support system.

Just my opinion though....

Jim

EDIT: I gave this another moments thought. If a candidate or supporters
want to post here, instead, sell them a banner ad touting their product.
Might as well make some scratch to support the overworked Fatwallet staff...
See? now I sound like a politician..

The irony.

Those deals are nothing but SPAM.

Agreed!

Ban em all except when the Playboy issue with Palin in it hits, that'll be a hot deal at any price. Maybe if someone has video of her pagent days too, hmm time to look on Youtube.
