Travel Security Company Not Winning Over Any of The World's 'Singletons'
According to the press release that just got dumped into our inbox by travel security company SafeCheckIn.com, the world is a dark, terrifying place. It's even scarier if you're a lonely single woman. There are bad men out there, and they will get you! And when they do, no one is going to even know or possibly even care. SafeCheckIn.com is your only friend. Here's why:
What happens if you are a single and you go out alone for a hike, road trip, run, swim, or any activity, but do not come back safely? If you are single, live alone or are away from friends/family, who will begin looking for you? ... SafeCheckIn.com is a new service that allows individuals the security of having someone always waiting for him or her... When you are a single and heading out for any activity, you often do not have anyone to tell where you are going.
Please trust us when we assure you that this first paragraph is the least grating part of the promo. It's not nearly as bad as their website, which screams "don't become a victim" in huge red letters (more on that in a sec). But check out how it mentions "single" over and over again and promises to have someone "always be waiting for you."
Because without SafeCheckIn.com and its email and text service that checks up on you while you are away, you're alone in this dark, dangerous wilderness of life. So pathetically alone.
Don't get us wrong. Yes it's important to let people know where you're going and when you expect to be back. No you don't need a service for that. You certainly don't need a service with a website that was designed by somebody's nephew in 2004. Hysterical red lettering set against an aqua blue background - tres svelte!
DON'T BECOME A Victim! DON'T BECOME A Statistic! You do not need to be in the wilderness or out alone to go "missing"! It can happen on a date, a road trip, out for a run, taking a bike ride, or any activity. It happens EVERYDAY to individuals who least expect it.
The obvious grammatical and spelling errors aside and ignoring the unnecessary quotes around missing - how insane is that? It's like "I've fallen and I can't get up" for today's frail, timid masses. Don't go out! Don't go out! There are giant radioactive bugs out there! They will EAT YOU!
Listen. Exploiting the insecurities of people is one thing. Singling out lonely or single people by telling them that traveling alone is unsafe and then using hideous promo material - well, that's just obnoxious. On the flip side, mothers of the world will now begin emailing their daughters begging them to sign up for this site.
