Thing 7 - Bogus websites #1

http://www.stephenswork.com/funkyshoes/goodkarma.html


Credible- Really?  Uknown energy transmitted from physical objects to the people within the aura of that object? Funky Shoes searches the globe for the shoes of people doing good works like Red Cross Volunteers, Doctors Without Borders (what the heck are Drs. w/o borders?), Peace Negotiators, Wildlife Preservationists, Local Activists, and many others.  This in itself qualifies this website as bogus.

 I could not find any contact information other than an address in CA.  There was not even an e-mail address offered on the site.  When I went to the DNS stuff site to search the registry domain, did not find anything reputable.  This site was affiliated with "Go Daddy."  I got the same ambiguous query information when I searched the registry for this also.   


I then truncated the URL and found www.stephenswork.com to be the site of an artist, Stephen Tuttle, who does woodwork, photography, and he writes music. 

Accurate - N/A

Reliable -  After further investigation via a Google search, Mitch nearly blinded all of the people on a short movie set with party poppers.  In another search for Mitch, Indiana's governor stated that 'nearly' half of all persons under the age of 30 did not go to work today'.  In my third attempt at further researching Mitch, I found that Mitch is a nearlywed; he will marry Shelby on October of this year.  The world famous walker, Mitch Nearly, is not even close to nearly existing.  The information is not reliable at his point. 

Moreover, if you are looking for a good plastic surgeon, Dr. Carla Garrison from Springfield, Missouri is highly recommended. She, not her shoes, can do justice to all of your physical issues!
