No more NON MOMS

Louanne on May 10th 2008

As of around 5 pm yesterday the website was changed. Instead of “The NON Mom Mom” it said “The Adoptive Mom”. Which really doesn’t fit the grandmother in the category, but I think that they were totally shocked by the bad attention they were getting 3 days before Mother’s Day.  Last night there was a statement on the website from Teleflora saying that they were sorry about their insensitivity towards adoptive moms.

As of this morning the site is completely different and says the voting has ended, so please watch the show tomorrow night. It’s pretty amazing to me that the non mom thing ever passed through that many people in marketing and no one noticed that it was inappropriate. The Teleflora statement even said that people in their company were also adoptive parents. One other funny thing I noticed was the category of “The ‘COE’ Chairman of Everything Mom” I think they made this because they clearly didn’t want to say ‘Stay at home Mom’.

 But somehow the adoptive mom got put in the non-mom category :)

    I was wondering the same thing…what ‘genious’ could have possibly thought of putting ANY mom in a non-mom category….hope they are suitably sorry!!

    This is despicable. I’ve been under the weather so I just ran across this and am completely appalled. Even dogs that have become surrogate mothers to kittens recieve more dignity than they provided here. What’s worse is how many obliviously, idiotic people it had to pass by and it never was brought to attention how moronically lame and ignorant it just made them…. in front of millions of people. Where are those old principals who used to use paddles…. ;0)

    hahahahah that makes me laugh that they wouldn’t say stay-at-home.

    but it also is unreal that “non-mom” was a category…WHAT THE?!?!?
