Florence Henderson (a.k.a. Carol Brady), just launched a tech support service. Actually, this isn’t that surprising.  Before Ol’ Flo got her cheekbone implants, she was pretty well known for handing out advice (for instance: “Don’t play ball in the house,” and “Face facts, you’re never going to be as popular as Marcia”).

The service — which is aimed at “mature” computer users —  is called FloH Club (which sounds like the name of a terrible discotheque in suburban Milwaukee).  La Henderson describes the experience in a quick video on the site (check it out, they must have had a serious budget for floral), where she says FloH Club is “like roadside assistance…but for your computer.”  Just call up her team (who, she mentions several times, are based in America — she does everything but stare into the camera and wink to emphasize this point) and they’ll coach you on how to use Facebook, print out a document or take a picture.  She then holds up a camera, as if to say, “This here is an automatic daguerreotype machine.  Press this button on top and it will trap your likeness.”

In fairness, the concept is a good one.  I know a lady, let’s call her “Carol Rossi,” and from time to time she has difficulty with techie stuff, like streaming videos of the Barefoot Contessa on FoodNetwork.com. If she joined FloH Club, she could get telephone support from a woman who once rocked a serious mullet, rather than call her son — who we’ll call “Fandrew Rossi” — at work.
