Product Description Writer...Really??

[ Edited ]

I was reading the description of the TSV for 9/12/23 for Ryka shoes and was taken aback:

 

 

Description

 
Do you feel that crisp chill in the air? Fall has arrived! So grab your windbreaker and the Ava quilted slip-ons, and head to the apple orchard, pumpkin patch, or a bonfire in the woods (toasted marshmallows, anyone?).
 
They keep your feet warm and dry with a soft Teddy bear lining and a water-repellent design. Outdoor adventures await, and these trend-right shoes comfortably step up to the plate. From Ryka.
 
 
 
I am guessing you will have a lot more "toasted" than just marshmallows if you have a festive bonfire "in the woods."
 
Methinks they need to revise the wording.

So, it's just plain corny, but the writer is trying to paint a picture for us, I guess. They do that at Q all the time....it doesn't encourage me to make a purchase but maybe it works with some people. Idk.

Probably  AI

 

I looked up to see where Ben Franklin was buried,   and the "robot" said, "he was sorry for my loss".

@ManyMeows   Just don't list attending bonfires in the woods!

 

Smokey will arrest you.

Wiki defines bonfire as a large and controlled outdoor fire.  So the word controlled is there.  But I think that campfire would have been a better choice.

At one time I would have said, not a big deal, nobody would be dumb enough to start a fire in the woods.   But today!

Maybe not a lot of real, specific info re shoes so they tell a nice fuzzy story in the hopes that the prospective

buyer won't notice.
