I recently purchased a new Maytag dishwasher from the best furniture and appliances store that I am distantly related to, Schenck Furniture in Germantown. So yes, for the record I am 1/8 Schenck.
While you finish snickering about that I want to tell you about the super invasive and scary warranty card that came with my Maytag model MDB6709AWW2. The first thing you notice is that it is dual-language in French. This is interesting, I realized later, because I thought both Europeans and Canadians were crazy about corporations invading personal privacy.
After asking normal warranty-card-appropriate things like name, address, store, date of purchase, the Maytag card moves on to asking everything but my cholesterol level. Apparently, in order to let me know of any recalls or issues with my dishwasher, Maytag needs to know:
- Our occupations
- Household income
- Level of education
- The names of credit cards I use regularly
- Whether I own or rent my home
- If I am a stamp collector
- Do I read the Bible
- Have I vacationed on a cruise ship
- Do I care about wildlife or environmental issues
- If I go fishing or hunting or just like to shoot
- My interest level in health foods
Oh, I'm sorry Maytag. It was an opportunity for me. How ungrateful can I be?
Is it possible the Maytag repairman got so bored, he decided to do a little spam marketing on the side?
Hello! great your blog. I just say that Here's an educator of religion, Hector Avalos, telling the world that his scholarly claim to fame is going bankrupt. Particularly, the field of "biblical archaic exploration" is quick finding that it isn't a science in light of the fact that the Bible is no manual for the past. It is writing, not history. He calls attention to that the specialists in the field openly concede this among themselves however paint an alternate picture when they converse with people in general in light of the fact that they would prefer not to "surprise" religious individuals..Thanks All!!>>>> Lucy <<<<
