I would like to APOLOGIZE to anyone and everyone who took offense at this situation. We made a mistake in releasing these descriptions to our FHG writing client, Topbucks.

Let me make one thing clear regarding this unfortunate situation: This oversight is by no means the fault of Topbucks or any of its related companies or employees. Webmasterlabor.com retains sole responsibility for this error.

There were over 35,000 descriptions in Topbucks? portfolio. They outsourced these descriptions to Webmasterlabor. The error came from a Webmasterlabor employee who apparently did not know the historical/social nuance behind the N word. In essence, the N word?s usage in rap is NOT and could NOT be excused in other settings. This person no longer works for webmasterlabor.com However much this EXPLAINS what happened, we are not asking for an excuse and webmasterlabor.com takes FULL responsibility for this oversight. We have taken strong actions to ensure that this situation does not occur again including but not limited to the termination of the offending employee.


We are releasing the revised text descriptions very shortly to Topbucks.

Thank you for keeping an open mind.

No problems it just goes to show that if you want something doing right the first time, dont outsource the work
