<p>Teleflora, an online floral delivery service, spent alot of money to <a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/topstories/ci_11606922">trash other delivery services and to insult romance novel readers</a>.)  While I could see that it was a bad choice, I have lost place of of my outrage.  Do I need to find it?  <a href="http://www.teleflora.com/images/vendors/00005557/form_noorder_live.html">Here&#8217;s the contact form</a>, if you want to send your feedback to Teleflora.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t make a ton of sense to insult romance readers, given that it is such a large demographic, but maybe it&#8217;s directed toward men.  Not women?</p>
<p><a href="http://kbgbabbles.blogspot.com/2009/02/teleflora-super-bowl-commercial-fails.html">Kate G</a> and <a href="http://www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com/index.php/weblog/comments/dear-teleflora-fuck-you/">SB Sarah</a> both blogged about this topic yesterday during the SuperBowl.</p>
