WWC and their tasteless naming or corals

[Zeal]

I understand that WWC is a business and they’re in the business to make money but naming a coral “hunker down and hurricane Ian Acro” seems a bit tasteless. There was so much destruction in central and west Florida….

Considering they’re in Orlando and many people lost everything they own and people also were killed.

Just my opinion. WWC has such a voice in the hobby and they choose to do something like this…

sad

@WWC

edit: mods will see this change the or to of please in the title.

I call my work funny and the old man says it's sad.
Two sides to every story. 2 edges to every sword. I think wwc might just be trying to make light of I'll news and situations.

Doubt it. This is strictly there to make money on the hot topic

I saw the "hurricane" sale this morning and thought it was a tasteless stunt as well. The hurricane is Still going...

IMO funny wins. This wasn't.

Call it what you want, but they are raising money for people affected by the storm with them, aren’t they?

 

[monkeyCmonkeyDo]

I agree than don't buy from them.

Idk, as a Floridian - it feels very on track for Florida in general.

I mean, have you never seen the Publix hurricane cakes?

Yea but it was like 5% of their proceeds from that "sale"

It’s a Florida thing, you wouldn’t understand….

This, right here... It's very on-brand for Floridians to make light of hurricanes... My FB timeline right now is a stream of Hurricane Party, Work Ditching, and Weatherman memes. I guess some people just don't have a sense of humor...

5% is better than nothing, talk about an entitled statement...

I think it was gauche

the level of destruction across the sate and hardship it caused to millions of their citizens and 1000's of reefers, they could have donated the sales profits to recovery efforts and I don't think this would have been an issue

Point is there are lots (and lots) of alternate vendors (and a pretty good one in their same city), and people can vote with their next orders

What can you do. As a Floridian, and having friends affected by the hurricane, I see why it would be offsetting for people, but what can we do
