Can someone give me a reason not to detest Gwyneth Paltrow?

[Jean-F]

Well, a fool and his (or her) money.... Besides, is it a scam if they're happy with the product?
People have been scamming others with BS cosmetics, medications and such for decades, and will continue to do so until consumers themselves wise up. Heck, you can still buy a well-known 19th Century 'cure' for morphine addiction that is also a mental health tonic, nerve stimulant and a headache cure, although its marketing is somewhat different nowadays...

Why are you targeting Gwynneth, anyway, when there are far more people being scammed and ripped off by far bigger fish... Intel and Nvidia, for example, or the tat-sellers on Amazon, or just the whole wellness/crystal industry in Glastonbury.
Is it that much easier to pick on a pretty-faced* lone woman, than a pretty faceless corporation, you big bully, you....?

I tend to loosely agree with you here, it may be an oversimplification, but if someone is offered vagina smelling candles, and falls over themselves to type their credit card number in, and buy a big sack of them, I tend to see them as mugging themselves, not being mugged.
I feel a similar way, except in the case of people my age and older, who may be a tad technophobic, about greedy dumbos who blithely send off £1000 to a Nigerian prince, in the belief that they’ll be sent £500,000, and a bag of magic beans.

That sounds like candles that smell of vagina.

I don't think that's got anything to do with being technophobic though. I'm not sure what happens to people when they get old that makes them fall for such ludicrous scams. I get that people slow down, but blatant BS is blatant BS.

Fair enough, busted, on re-reading my post, it sounds for all the world that I was describing candles that go around smelling ladies private parts, as opposed to candles that allegedly give off an aroma of vagina.[/QUOTE]

Her vag smells of my snake oil.

I had an example of this just a few moments ago.
My mobile rang, and a disembodied voice informed me that HMRC had opened a fraud case against me, to speak to the agent conducting the case, I should press 1.
If I did not press 1, or hung up, a warrant would be issued for my arrest.
I whispered, “Poor me”, and hung up.
I then began to wonder why anyone would fall into the trap and press 1, all I can think of is intrigue and disbelief, and the fervent hope that they can “iron it out” before it goes further.

Also doesn't pay her taxes on the snake oil her company sells.

 

[Thekwango]

i still would

Anyone who says that they wouldn’t is either kidding us, or more likely themselves.
If just as you shuck your jeans, she says that she sells snake oil and doesn’t pay tax,
are you going to put your jeans back on and go home?

no doubt someone will be along shortly to comment they wouldn't go near her because 'insert reason of choice' while they smile lovingly at the absolute hound they are married too/living with or decide what to look for on pornub

This has got many thousands of people in the UK for millions of pounds already.
