    After a friend was bitten by a spider, I decided to do some research to find out more about the spider.

    I came across a website that decided to create a marketing message that focused on fear based selling and over the top lies.

    To emphasize the fear based factor, the website was illustrated with pictures of spider bite 'victims' that had huge holes in their skin from where the small spider bite supposedly turned into a flesh eating monster.

    One photograph caption went way over the top by stating that the victim of a horrific spider bite on the leg resulted in the victim having their leg amputated.

    The business owners then went on to state that if the victim would have bought their product, this never would have happened. And if you purchase their product it will not happen to you.

    This business chose to base their marketing on deceit and lies to sell their product. Even worse, they valued profit more than people.

    They chose to paint a horrific picture with their marketing message in an attempt to scare up customers.
