It was all fun and games until Polenar Tactical (a gun shooting channel) wanted to shoot their dumb knives:

From the video description:

Apparently it looks bad that we show some of the knives broke. Well what did they expect? Perfectly normal result if you shoot a kitchen knife with a handgun.

Unreal.  What did the knife company expect?  I get so many SpOnSorShiP, GuEsT poSt and AdVertIsinG emails too, and it’s painfully obvious most of the people sending the emails have never been to the site.  That’s fine, because they literally just want a backlink.. but they should at least know not to email me about placing ads for a baby food brand or something not even remotely related to my content; I don’t need the $50 they used to want to pay, that badly.  Now I typically just reply “$3000, and I have to approve the content / link”.. and I never hear back.  In the case of this Polenar Tactical video.. they gave that knife company way more than they ever could have asked for.  It made their knives look great if you ask me.  If Polenar Tactical didn’t get paid though, that really sucks.  Semi typically blade boi behavior tbh.

Thoughts?
