Is This Product Manual For Real???

Mr. Basketmaker and I have been spending a lot of time outside in our redneck bathtub. We’ve had it for about a month now and we don’t know how we lived our lives without it! But today I’m not talking about that. I will talk about our “much-loved tub” hopefully soon and have plenty of pictures in all its redneck glory!

So, a few nights ago, while we were out in the tub we decided that we needed one of those small bluetooth speakers to hook up to my iphone so we can have some music playing.

So let’s get right to the point. We bought a cute little mini rubber bluetooth speaker. It was supposed to be a popular brand but when we opened it up, there is no logo on anything — not on the product or on any of the paperwork. So I’m guessing it’s most likely a knock-off.

So here’s the pic of the speaker. Cute right?

Well, I want to share what I read in the instruction sheet. First, the text on this little single-page manual is approximately 5 point in size! If you are not familiar with font point sizes, 10.5 points is typically what a newspaper prints. So this text is almost half that size! Eric and I needed a magnifying glass to read it!

Now this is what I want to show you. Towards the bottom of this tiny instruction sheet, I read this! (If you cannot read the photo — since it was so tiny to start with and hard to shoot — I retyped the text, word-for-word with all the TYPOS, below!)

WHAT?!?!?! Forget about all the typos…  “As all girls, she is dependent…. she will always stick on you tightly and loyally?” We could not believe what we were reading!

You can bet we are returning this bluetooth speaker tomorrow! How awful!

Actual (retyped) text:

“POSTSCRIPT:  JL BT is a cute girl with recognizable personality. She adores freedom, and loves singing. She is born with singing talents. She sings when sits, when walks, even when in bath. As all girls, she is dependent and would love to be protected. She loves stick on you. She is irresistible with her mellow and delicate texture, also the convenient wireless Bluetooth. What the most extraordinary part is that she has a powerfal secret weapon: Super Suction Cup. No matter where you are, she will always stick on you tightly and loyally.”

(fyi – it was soooo hard to retype all those TYPOS!! I wanted to correct them!)
