My primary issue is that the "Star Council" advertisement is highly misleading. They do deliver exactly what they say they do, at least I assume so not knowing because I have never named a star through them. The problem is that they make it sound like they are officially renaming stars for their customers. So long as you understand exactly what they are selling, I have no problem with you purchasing their product. The gift definitely last longer than roses and can be just as sweet. As you said, it is the thought that counts and their product can bring a smile and a bit of happiness to some. What I would like to know is how many people who named a star through them actually think that they are purchasing an "official" name change for that star. They are the "suckers" that I referred to in my original post. My other issue with the "Star Council" is that their emails spam. No matter how valid or important a product is, I do not like or believe in spamming.

Not all of us are suckers, merely think it's a lovely way to commemorate someone we admire greatly. I'm only glad my recipient was not as cynical as you!
