During a discussion this morning about Natalie Dylan’s virginity auction (there’s a phrase I never thought I’d use), we visited the BunnyRanch website to confirm some facts. Naturally, there’s a Frequently Asked Questions section.
Some of these are routine. The first two: “Where is the BunnyRanch located?” and “Which airport do I fly into?” Frequently asked indeed.
Let’s keep reading:
3. Where can I fly my private plane or jet into?
4. Where do I land my helicopter?
When the fourth most frequently asked question is, “Where do I land my helicopter?” (and the answer is, “The Moonlite BunnyRanch has a special landing pad in front just for helicopter uses”), you know you’re looking at an expensive destination.
I also love this question, if only for its fascinating reflection on our society and values:
9. How old do you have to be to visit the BunnyRanch?
You must be at least 18 years old to have sex or 21 years old to have a cocktail at the bar.
The real question now is how much longer we can keep talking about Natalie Dylan and the BunnyRanch before my girlfriend will veto the trip to Vegas we’ve been planning.
FAQs are always more like “Questions we’d like to be asked frequently”.
For example, the most frequently asked question on Verizon Wireless is NOT “Can you hear me now?” It’s “What is the Worry Free Guarantee®?” Certainly one that’s kept me up nights … worrying … without getting paid for it.
Even on WiseGeek.com, the most frequently asked question is NOT “What are FAQs, although that is one of the questions. (http://www.wisegeek.com/faq.htm)
