Does anyone know how to contact the video makers? They've got problems.
I started the "Beginners" series, and got as far as the one on Budgeting for Your Doll. I figured, why not? I my car has been in the shop at least once a month for seven of the last twelve months. Budget is an issue for me, even though I really just want to make a small order of 1/6 Obitsu stuff and some Mr. Super Clear from Junkyspot.
But the person in the budget video starts throwing out examples of how to save money for a doll. Her first is for a teenage girl saving $50 a month - the video says this person can afford a $300 doll in four months (because of shipping).
Nope. It would take six months for the $300, plus another month (at least) for shipping.
Does anyone have a way to contact her to let her know that this video has some serious math errors? It sort of makes me think that the rest of the series is either poorly thought out or badly edited. I mean, this one has been up for over a year and no one mentioned the math error (or the creators do know about it but didn't reshoot the video or otherwise edit it to indicate the correct numbers).
I'm not on DOA, so I can't even PM Splynterhayde, who made the video.
