Yes, it's only entertainment, but it's important to at least explicitly disclose such an obvious conflict when publishing a hands-on review. Then the reader can make his or her own judgment as to the credibility of the review.

L.A.S.: "...Haters: "hate hate hate"<br /><br />L.A.S.: "BALLIN!"<br /><br />In all seriousness though, where else would you see a review of those Rugby joints and these slippers?

Also, if something is sent to me that I do not like then it does not get written about. The reasons you don't see negative reviews on Sart Inc is because I don't waist my time writing about shit I think sucks.<br /><br />While the Rugby jeans might have been overpriced (I, myself, do not have $400 to spend on jeans), I loved the details and the fact that they were sourced and made in the USA, hence the write up.<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words and your honesty.L.A.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794979185698861626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-45817823934325750642010-09-07T18:09:40.316-04:002010-09-07T18:09:40.316-04:00LAS, I'm curious whether you've thought ab...LAS, I'm curious whether you've thought about how you're going to approach the increased amount of notoriety you're getting vis a vis your readers' trust, authenticity, blah blah blah, &c. People who've read from the beginning will, at least for a while, give you the benefit of the doubt when you receive free products and then write them up. But it seems like we're seeing more and more reviews of products that have been comped and/or sent directly from the marketing departments of the brands in question. If you receive other stuff and decline to write about it, we obviously have no idea. I imagine this happens, but who knows. To my knowledge we also haven't seen a negative review of something that was comped either (yes, I know the blog's only a year old). I was kind of expecting a bit harsher review of those ridiculously overpriced Rugby jeans, for instance. But that's obviously a bit more difficult to do when somebody's actually sent you a pair. <br /><br />I'm not trying to impugn your integrity here, just curious whether you've thought about these things and how you're dealing/going to deal with them. Because I do really like the blog & Tumblr.Davenoreply@blogger.com
