Creation, we have a problem
OK, so I'm not a big fan of Creation Entertainment.

But, come on, do you think it's acceptable for the sole Xena fan club to carry an item like this?

Okay...I can barely do three of those things. Having to do any of them drunk does not create a pretty picture.

especially since they misspelled Poteidaia


WHAT WOULD XENA DO?

Arghh! Don't they use spell check?? Oh wait...I guess Poteidaia is not in spell check...
I can see using the less commonly used alternate spelling Potiedea or whatever it is, but they are WAY off on that glass!
Shame on them.

Well, am I going blind or did they spell it with an L instead of a T??

Yeah, the spelling is what I was referring to.

Shameful.

Wonder if anyone has bought it, without realising?

And yes, it's spelt POLEIDAIA.

I mean, it was in a fricken Xena song, for Zeus' sake!

How does that get to the printers without someone noticing?

Proves once again that people running a fan club are not necessarily fans.

I was aggitated and a little bored so I sent this to creation.

You guys might want to pay a little more attention to what you are doing when you send your glassware out to print. On your shot glasses it says spell POLEIDAIA backwards. In case you're not aware it is spelled Poteidaia. The fact that you're actually trying to advertise it is a little sad.
Not happy,
a diehard fan

Heh! You go girl. Big Grin

Same Creation just informed me that they will be shipping goods to me in early May, that I ordered on April 20.

I should get said goods in August, at their rate of shipping.

I'm basing this on the fact that goods they sent me in February still haven't arrived. And they charge heaps for postage, too.

I don't know of any other business around that has such disgusting customer service.

I try not to order from them but sometimes they are the only online shop to offer certain items.

It's funny how I told Rachel about it and she wasn't surprised at all.

OK, so let me get this straight, we're only upset because they cannot spell, right? Not about the glass itself? Cause, personally, I think the glass is hilarious. Well, the concept of it. If you don't agree, please forgive.

I would buy the shot glass if not for the spelling.

The concept is awesome. The spelling is unforgiveable. And typical of Creation's attention to detail - NOT!

i like the idea of the whole glass thing to be honest. never mind the spelling of course!
but it's a pretty funny idea to do this with Xena topics. especially like the "chakram on 1finger" thing. reminds me soo much of the pic (see tom's homepage). *chuckle*

Does no one bother to read what I've actually read? smash
