“She Wolf” Sia Furler is “Titanium” when it comes to pop music, but not when it comes to destroying the reputation of a New York dry cleaner.
I need to pause for a minute to vomit from that “Local News at 6” style introduction.
…
Back and lighter! Anyway, despite her incredible pipes, Sia has gained recognition as, well, being kind of a B.
For example, she hit out at Sarah Palin for simply walking off stage to her song, “Titanium”.
ummm ok then *puts earbuds back in*
In other words, “you can’t listen to my music if I don’t like you”.
Next in Sia’s crosshairs *vomits again* is Metropolitan Garment Cleaning, a small dry cleaner in Jamaica, Queens.
Sia tweeted on June 17:
light a bag of shit and leave it on their doorstep?
I can’t count the number of times I’ve had clothes ruined by dry cleaners. Usually, the best bet is to ask for your money back and switch to a new dry cleaners.
But I’m not Sia.
She soon followed up with this:
that’s a dick move
The link goes straight to the dry cleaner’s Yelp page, where Sia encouraged her followers to write fake bad reviews to harm the company’s Yelp reputation.
Needless to say, Yelp caught on and was not pleased:
As of this afternoon, Metropolitan Garment’s Yelp (YELP) profile has four recommended reviews, three of which give the dry cleaner the maximum five-star rating. Meanwhile, the online review site, whose content guidelines dictate that reviews “should be unbiased and objective,” has removed 39 reviews. Stricken reviews include this note captured by Gothamist: “They are the worst people on earth. The ‘laundry Nazis.’
Yelp reviews are becoming more and more important to small businesses, and it’s unethical to encourage people to write fake reviews to defame someone’s reputation.
If Sia was truly outraged, why the hell didn’t she just tweet photos of the ruined garments and let her followers decide?
Maybe we’d see the indelible marks from being butthurt…
let’s hope they ruined this garment
