They’ve built their business on their unique merchandising strategy and attitude so I don’t think any wooter would be surprised by this passage. My grandma might find it offensive but then she does not shop here. More importantly, I'm sure a smart etailer like woot pays close attention to what does and doesn't work. What might seem risky from an outsiders perspective could very well be a smart, measured strategy. Woot is an incredibly smart etailer.

This sort of style is appreciated by a fair number of people in my experience. However, it can offend. Not me though, thats why I love sites / services like Woot, Daily Candy, FlavorPill and Thrillist - all of which employ the snarky or brutally matter of fact writing style you've cited.
