General Plumbing for Dummy Homeowners

Water pipe spaghetti...
Perhaps the only thing worse than a freelancer writing for pennies is a fake freelancer pretending to give advice while shilling for his or her company. We're thinking of someone like Brianna W over at seekyt.com, whose entire portfolio consists of one badly-written article she called "Get to Know the Basics of Home Plumbing Systems." It turns out that Brianna only presented all this pseudo-knowledgeable faux-factation to advertise for her favourite plumbing company in Melbourne, Australia. 

Of course, we here at the Antisocial Network couldn't let her get away with bullshit like that, especially when her concept of the "basics of home plumbing systems" is written at the level of a preschooler's board book – and we're not only talking knowledge, we're talking writing. Oz is an English-speaking country, so Bri deserves our scorn for crap like this:
"...try some camping for a couple of days and see how you feel without your morning beginning with a hot shower, without flushing toilet or a running water for everyday needs..."
not to mention this:
"By considering the conditions in advance, you will avoid many problems with your plumbing in future. I would also highly recommend you to consult with licensed handymen when installing because plumbers with many years of experience could give you many useful advices [sic]. This may sound like a big unnecessary expense at the moment, but you’ll see in future that your money have been a good investment."
That's not just badly written, its' insulting; first in the notion that someone looking for basic plumbing advice is currently in the process of building (without an architect, we might add) and second in linking to the webpage of her plumber boss/boyfriend/hubby. Pure advertisement, pure bullshit, pure Dumbass of the Day. Why? because there's no friggin' information there!
