Whether or not you want to admit it, everyone knows ad host ‘Vince’ of Slap Chop, Shamwow\u00a0 <\/em>and now Schticky<\/em> fame or infamy.<\/p>\n

I say the latter because “his” ads for the latter have finally been\u00a0 sanitized after months of including two painful and corny lines of sexual innuendo.<\/p>\n

In-vince-ible?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Without getting graphic, one comment had to do with a cat and the other came after a friend stopped by.<\/p>\n

Cute is cute and clever is clever and neither line in the original ad was either. Crude was probably a more apt description, and there’s plenty of that going around these days.<\/p>\n

A slap to Milwaukee’s mayor, as happened the other day, was probably a bit much.<\/p>\n

A chop to this ad was definitely appropriate, if a bit late.<\/p>\n

Taking care of other business, to recommend another site:<\/p>\n

The web site http:\/\/midlandtradeshow.com\/<\/a> is clean, professional and user-friendly.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s a positive that the company logo and phone number are hard-to-miss in their location at the top of the page. One minor improvement would be to consider bumping up the font size a bit to make both items stand out more.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The photo is acceptable and the copy is useful and error-free. I would consider using a different photo with a person or two in it to bring the picture to life a bit as it is a little “dry” otherwise. Less copy with the most important points about the different aspects of the products is another possibility for a bit of an improvement.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Overall, the site is good to very good and with a few tweaks it could even be excellent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
