another big company going after the little guy.....

[tash]

I don't post here anymore because I don't have any fish now But I do follow Honest Toddler on FB and recently she came under attack by the large company owned by Jessica Alba, The Honest Company. The story is pretty similar to Monster Energy Drink's stupidity so I thought I would share it with you all since you understand...

I would love some Domino Sugar or Domino's Pizza for breakfast. Don't care which one.

that link is funny.
plus it has a good idea to use on big companies who bully. v (use it on Monster Energy) v

"Let's hit Honest Company where they hurt: tweet them. (Corporations are terrified of Twitter.) Tell Honest Company and Jessica Alba to leave Honest Toddler alone and you can tell them I sent you! #thehonestcompanysucks"

I see RedBull tried going after a UK microbrewery by the name of Redwell and very swiftly dropped it after they realised the potential for public backlash...

Shame...I'm a fan of Jessica Alba. I don't know why people think they own the world

HT is a mom who started a funny blog a while back from the perspective of her toddler. Then she got on twitter and FB. Then she wrote a book. Then she tried to trademark "Honest Toddler", got approved, and now The Honest Company is causing problems.

This is HT's FB: https://www.facebook.com/honesttoddler
and Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/HonestToddler
and blog: http://thehonesttoddler.com/

Here are a few posts by HT:










A lot of companies realize the problems bulling small companies and individuals will do to their reputation nowadays. Last April is when The Honest Company first started this and then it seemed that they realized their mistake and made good with HT, even doing a diaper giveaway for HT fans. Then just a few weeks ago they came back out and are now saying that HT went back on her word when she never agreed to give up her trademark (why would anyone agree to that?). But this time The Honest Company is just deleting posts on their FB page about it, and ignoring questions on pintrest and other places. I think they hope it will just go away if they ignore the backlash.

so freakin stupid. so you can't use any word that's part of a company title or slogan? that would be as lame as mfk suing other websites for having the word "fish" in their name.

good thing j alba fell off for me a while ago


and +1 on having no idea what Honest Toddler is

I'm going to copyright: The term "Electric"
The color blue
The given name Sean
And the surname Burch...
And also the term cheese-tacular, but only in the context of macaroni! I'm not greedy...

Honest toddler is one of the worst ideas I have heard of, this is my opinion. I am sure she had a million twitter followers who disagree with me though. I am going to start a blog and pretend to be one of my fish. I will also make a Facebook account and twitter account for the fish as well.

Since this is a "fish forum" let's use a "fish related analogy". What happens when you put little fish into the same tank as big fish?? The big fish go after (and sometimes eat) the little fish.

Why should a competitive business environment be any different?? If you want to play in the "big pond"...you need to act like a "big fish"!
