MoviePass's Latest Email To Its Subscribers Is Beyond Bizarre—And Also Infuriating

In these days of technology and social media, companies need to learn honesty is the best policy. It's time for tricky PR stunts to go away.


We all loved Mad Men, but the days of fooling consumers with slick ad campaigns and cutesy promotional stunts are over. People simply want the truth, but it seems MoviePass didn't get the memo. This week they sent a strange email to subscribers that didn't address any concerns such as being sued for alleged fraud, an investigation New York authorities, and multiple complaints from customers for some sketchy business practices.

Instead they threw it all to the dogs... literally. The company sent out and email that has people scratching their heads, and no, it's not because of fleas.

When subscribers opened the email they were met with this dog. (Yes, she is adorable but that is beside the point.)

And with it this silly little note:

Woof! I'm Chloe, the Director of Barketing at MoviePass. I'd like to explain why from time to time you may have had a "ruff" experience with us but it turns out that I'm a dog and I can't talk. What I do know is that I see these humans working like crazy to make MoviePass better and better for you as fast as possible. They are so grateful for your membership and support while they work it out. We're listening. We're learning. We're changing.

Yeah, we're pretty embarrassed too and the people are not amused.



Well, Chloe is pretty cute.



Hey now, don't blame the dog.

It's hard to send an email blast with paws.

It might be time for Chloe to retire and let the humans take some responsibility.

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

U.S. Army Vet Goes Viral With Blistering Speech Ripping Trump For Deploying Troops To L.A.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.

Trump Dragged After Hilariously Flubbing Insult About Biden's Mental Acuity

The term malaphor means when two or more colloquial phrases or idioms get confused and combined to create something nonsensical. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), malaphors are a common symptom of frontotemporal dementia or other cognitive impairments.

So when a person seeks to accuse someone of being unintelligent, their use of malaphors is ironic and possibly very telling—narcissists will always accuse others of their own faults and failures.
