Yahoo Mail recently upgraded its e-mail services so that you can now use a quasi-Microsoft Outlook type of screen to view your mail. There are many benefits to having this type of setup, but one of the drawbacks is the automatic advertisements that are embedded in different areas of the screen. Alright, so they’re not SO bad, but this advertisement really pissed me off:
Take a good look at that advertisement. What type of support is superior? Personal support? No… Presonal support? Yes!
Presonal support? PRESONAL support?!? What the hell does PRESONAL mean? How the hell did something like this get published on the internet on one of the highest viewed web-based e-mail platforms?! If I was the owner of the company that purchased this advertisement, I’d be off my rocker with aggravation.
But I’m glad that these bozos actually had this pathetic advertisement printed. In reality, this type of shoddy workmanship is endemic in all areas of life and it is becoming more and more widespread as time goes on. What do we expect from younger generations that are completely fine with writing: hI R U up 2 nething kewl 2day??
It’s pathetic.

I saw a Google ad on my site the other day that said “take a IQ test now.”
Um…no, not with you, but thanks for comin’ out.
Unfortunately I see things like that all the time. It’s pathetic and sad that people don’t seem to take even the slightest bit of pride in their work anymore.

I agree – it’s one of the major downfalls of our society. People just don’t care about quality any more.
