What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA search for the Lisa Barlow rant on Etsy brings up more than twelve hundred results, on shirts, mugs and hats, Variety reports.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTwelve hundred listings for one outburst. Governments have collapsed with less documentation.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt's in Variety's gift guide for Bravo fans, right next to Dorinda Medley's Bluestone Manor Bourbon.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorInspired by a Massachusetts property said to have been a speakeasy.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSaid to have been. Even the speakeasy is sold on a rumor.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHere's what I can't get past. There's a set of Real Housewives Mugshot Coasters, four precinct snaps. Who is that for, exactly?

  7. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorJen Shah was sentenced to six and a half years for fraud and money laundering.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSomeone has printed that on a coaster and put a drink on it.

  9. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe top-rated Etsy seller adds customized quotes for no extra charge.

  10. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFree engraving on a booking photo. A rare case of the service being better than the product.

  11. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo if the seller adds a quote for free, Gloria, what would yours say?

  12. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNot guilty. Of anything Chip has said on this desk.
