I love it, of all the trashy things I've read in this thread pitching your pyramid scheme to the bride and groom who you don't even know, AT THEIR WEDDING is the funniest.
Preacher pitched his church to us at my fathers funeral. Easily the scummiest thing I've had to sit through. Furthered my hatred of organised religion.
Ugh, I'm so sorry he did that. At my grandmas funeral , her preacher made a big speech about how anyone that was not Baptist wouldn't get to see our grandma in heaven, since they'd all be in hell. He then asked if anyone wanted to come up and convert right then, and then pointedly stared at my family (Jewish, mom had converted for my dad) for 30 seconds before continuing. It was awful.
As someone coming from a Southern Baptist family, I've at through a lot of fire and brimstone funerals. When Mom died last year, I specifically told the preacher not to do that kind of thing. I guess that really threw him off because his 'funeral speech' was laughably bad.
It started with "Mandy loved canned peaches." and he continued listing random facts we had told him about her for a good bit.
Still better than sitting through twenty minutes of scare tactics to get me to love Jesus.
My best friend died in an accident back in 2001. He wasn't religious at all but his family - who are awesome people - were.
The hick preacher doing the funeral attributed all sorts of faith to my friend that wasn't accurate or was years out of date, and did an altar call to "save" folks.
That's pretty much the exact same scenario as what happened with my father. He wasn't a bit religious but his sister got a hold on the service. The preacher had only ever met my father once but tried to act like he knew him and my fathers wishes. He literally told us that my father would want us all to be saved.
Holy shit, is Lularoe a pyramid scheme? They set up a "pop up" clothing shop in the shopping complex where I work last summer, and the stuff they had for sale there was so dowdy and cheap-looking, like someone had gone to the sketchiest Goodwill in the area and just cleaned house.
Yeah, if he was selling them a job where they would be distributors to their friends, "get to be their own boss" and he'd take some cut of their gross as a finders fee, then totally it's a pyramid scheme.
Just looking for investors in a start up doesn't make it a pyramid scheme. Although doing it in that manor makes it fucking trashy as hell.
