By “Satan’s evil henchmen” I do, of course, refer to those people who run 22 Percent Off, an Australian discount card company. Jonk’s Bargains didn’t like them much, criticising the lack of discounts available and their general lameness. In response, 22 Percent threatened to sue for defamation. That is an abuse of our legal system, as they had no case and could hardly have thought otherwise. Jonk has left the comments as is.
I went and had a squiz at 22 Percent Off’s website, and can only concur with Jonk’s Bargains. At the time I checked there were 144 businesses listed in Victoria, but that is misleading as businesses with multiple outlets are listed multiple times. There are two listings in Mordialloc, both of which are the same place. The discounts on offer are somewhat less than spectacular. Some of them have expiry dates that have already passed or will shortly. San Remo Bakehouse must be spewing over being classified as “Specialty Retailers” rather than as “Eating / Drinking” or “Restaurants”.
5 Fun Facts About 22 Percent Off (they had it coming):
1. The senior management of 22 Percent Off eat kittens for breakfast
2. For lunch, they prefer puppies
3. They find that the kittens taste nice with tartare sauce
4. They smear the puppies with mustard
5. After work each day they meet up with Satan and play pool
Can’t wait until their PR department sees this.
