Zazzle - PG-13 and up need not apply

I'm going to take a break from jokes to talk about a weird adventure I had with Zazzle, the online POD t-shirt company. I started a new election store called Choice2008 and I added this design called "Screw Hillary" . I never though it would be a problem because I have seen plenty of more strongly worded designs on Zazzle and every place else.


The big stuff hit the fan and FAST. Whew! The fallout was fast. First I got some angry comments, but then Zazzle sent me a strongly worded message that this design violates their terms of service and the only way I could have it is if I rated it PG-13 or ABOVE.

OK... .fine.... UNTIL I found out.... (drum roll) that if a design isn't rated "G", it not only isn't displayed in the Zazzle marketplace, NOBODY, but NOBODY can see the design in my shop unless they are logged into Zazzle.

Now wait a minute folks. How many members of the public, when they find my shop via Google are logged in? How many members of the public who find my shop via my blog or somebody else's blog are logged in? That tells me I effectively cannot promote this design because if I display it and you click on the designs, its Sorry Charlie, you aren't logged in. People aren't going to bother making a new account, they are going to move on to the next selection in Google.

Zazzle could easily remedy this market place issue by instituting what Google Images does. Google permits the end user to set search preferences for images to something they call Safe Search which permits you to set Strict Search or moderately strict search, or do not filter.

Anyway, I hope this gets resolved soon. I have heard from other Shopkeepers who have stores at Cafepress that they don't bother putting any more energy into their shops at Zazzle because their designs are PG-13 or above and they can't promote them.

And by the way, if you want to buy the Screw Hilliary design, its HERE

Cheers y'all. Tomorrow, back to some better jokes.

Some more silly humor

I couldn't resist todays humor sent to me by my uncle, who seems to have a lot of time on his hands. But what the heck..... everybody gets to enjoy some good jokes

Bush 41: "Son, you're making the same mistake in Iraq that I made with your mother. I didn't pull out in time..."

Ok.... Before the next joke, I want to show you a new design I have in memory of the 911 victims. Cafepress hasn't updated their marketplace, but you can still get this via my My Nitsupak Store. Click on the shirt to see the page.

Ok ..... so I have another joke, but this one is on a link. You'll love it! Just remember, in this blog with political jokes, nobody is safe! And yes, it is another one in care of my dear uncle!

Funny Political Satirical performance

Cheers!

Hillary's first night as president and other jokes

Ok.... its been a while. I've been working hard on a new shop - no politics in this one, just sports its at Sportschamp. I opened it at Printfection and up and coming t-shirt company with lots and lots of choices of colors and sizes and whats even better, their quality is SUPERB. So... enjoy todays jokes. And just for looking at my new shop, I have 2 very good ones

4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.



5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break
up."



8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.



9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."



10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door


won't turn down the stereo.

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.



25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead


of asking "Oh S*$# what the hell ha ppened?"



Bonus:

that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old butt.

Then you forward it to a bunch of old pals & friends 'cause you know

they'll enjoy it & do the same.





Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you

can. -Danny Kaye.
