How I wish consumers are smart enough to decide what's real and what's fake products. It’s a hard law, I just can’t think of a way how can they implement them.

That is because you never called me you prick, I would have filed a FTC complaint on your ass. I have done it to 3 telemarketing jerkwads and will keep it up as long as they keep calling. Just go the the FTC website and fill out the form, it's simple. you never got fined? That is because you never called me you prick, I would have filed a FTC complaint on your ass.

Another question I have is about reporting back to the company of the product you're reviewing. Even before the FTC ruling I disclosed where or how I got the item. Sometimes companies give me sample products to review and I always disclose that I got the item for free. That way the reader can take this into consideration when reading my product review. In those cases, I email the company the URL of my review post as a courtesy. Although some companies ask me to do so too. Fine by me. However, I also write about/mention products or items that I already own to complete green and home improvement projects. Now do I have to track down a representative for that product and send them the URL of that post to comply with the new ruling?

What scares me more is if they try doing it in all the wrong ways. What's the end result going to be for us bloggers? I don’t think the FTC is going to have a clue on how to regulate this.
