Activism project- Investigate Inventionmen

November 1, 2006

Last month, I received a piece of junk email (.pdf file) that advertised their Inventionmen™ I was irritated that they used the word “men” in their name rather than something more inclusive. I decided to investigate.

I clicked the call to action link and found myself on the BestOnlineSchools web site. I have learned my lesson about filling out online forms from junk mail offers, but I want to investigate this company and their mindset. They’ll send me their packet about Inventigration process, and call me. I did not provide my evening and cell phone numbers as required by the form.

More later…
