      Round 7: DeBeers vs 1-800 Flowers

      By Ben Popken, 12:00 PM on Thu Mar 20 2008, 7,886 views

      This is round 7 in our Worst Company in America 2008 contest, DeBeers vs 1-800 Flowers.

      DeBeers: Controls over 70% of the world's diamond mining and has been accused of artificially constricting to diamond supply to inflate prices. Their advertising also teaches us that you're not a man unless you get your wife or lover the biggest rock you can.

      1-800 Flowers: Readers have complained about receiving dead or the completely wrong flowers.

      This is a post in our Worst Company In America 2008 series. Keep track of all the goings on at consumerist.com/tag/worst-company-in-america/

      STILL OPEN FOR VOTING: Starbucks vs United Airlines, Exxon vs Crocs, Google Vs Sony, Ticketmaster vs Wachovia, Facebook vs The American Arbitration Association, Comcast vs Menu Foods
