Recession survey, WTH?

Um so I took the survery because I had a few minutes and was bored. It doesn't ask anything about the recession. It asks where you live/marital status/age/income then send you on your merry way. How does this have anything to do with the recession?

I filled it out in the hopes that Annie would reciprocate with an invitation to the Golden Girls shower.Golden Girls Shower almost sounds incredibly dirty.

That sounds like a survey to help the knot out of the recession by updating your demographic information for them so they can sell advertising.

I took it and it asked me where I lived, if I was planning a wedding, how much it costs, and other questions.  Maybe it's only looking for people in certain areas.  Where do you like kamikaze?

Umm can you please translate as to if you meant "What do I like" or "Where do I live"?

notquiteblushing

Typo, I meant what area of the world do you live?

Boston area which apparently they did not like since they cut me off.

I was kicked out at the same stage.  I have a feeling they are only looking for people who they think might change their expenditures based on the recession, so they eliminate some responders after the income step.

That sort of makes sense but doesn't seem very well thought out by TK. You could have a really low income but be living off a trust fund or something. Or you could have a large income but be bogged down with student loans. Too many variables.

I agree.  It's the same screwed up logic that they use when they factor credit scores without considering income.
