That blog post left a bad taste in my mouth. It's a post without substance -- pointing out one company's dirty laundry, then making the claim that they'll never do the same.

How do we know they won't? Why even raise the question or put the doubt in our heads?

Their dirty laundry? It's a story we found on CNN. We're trying to let people know - both consumers and businesses - they are right ways of doing text marketing, and gave some bets practices on how to avoid the getting into trouble.

Maybe Papa John's won't change but a quarter billion sounds like a strong motivator to them and others.

It's funny that you're linking to the HuffPo version of the AP story you found on CNN ;)

And there you go again. You must really dislike Papa John's or their CEO. Is it a political reason or a civil one?

I don't eat pizza (paleo diet) but I miss it. We have no problem with Papa John's as a whole but this practice is bad for the growing text marketing business we're a member of and working hard to keep clean and useful for everyone.

No politics, just business.
