Somebody pulled up a Photoshopped joke image instead of an actual ad. "So good, you'll suck dick" has not yet become the standard to which actual ad agencies have descended.

That is really lazy even if your employer is just a local news network or whatever.

More like the graphics guy was disgruntled.

I'd like to revisit this one:



On the surface this is a funny mistake, however it could be a deliberate tip of the hat to a previous funny mistake. Yogi Berra once made a mistaken but sincere comment about a switch hitter being amphibious, and I always thought that perhaps this headline was a continuation of that joke.

The fact that it says "ambidextrous" in the article and that sports writers for baseball are exactly the type of people to make really old callbacks leads me to believe you have cracked the code on this one.

You'll be ahead instead of behind. Hello!

drat, what the hell were they thinking? They could have kept the tagline and made something equally tasteless but less rapey (like a guy looking uncertain about a snaggle-toothed woman about to suck him off) and it probably would have made the rounds on Facebook without screaming "please boycott our douchebag product!"

The second-place vote is pretty dumb. Why would you name a boat after a guy who died trying to make the same voyage the boat is? It'd be like building a plane to cross the Pacific nonstop and calling it the Amelia Earhart.

EDIT: That's probably why the Internet picked it. :v:

Imagine Sarah, panicked, knowing she can't keep up this habit of stealing worn men's underwear and taking in their musky masculine scent, finally figures out an excuse: the cat! The cat, for some reason, steals underwear (only men's for some reason, how quirky!) and brings it over. Now she just has a pile of dirty manly drawers, how awful! So she puts notes in the mailboxes of her neighbors, reluctantly telling the men in the building that they can collect it. But somebody finds it funny, puts it online. Now it's gone viral, with half of the people thinking it's a funny cute story, the other half realizing her forbidden desires. Panicking, she tells the news to give them her side of the story, really driving home that it just has to be the cat. She's going through about two packs of cigarettes each day now. They know her full name now, and everyone could know her darkest secret, the secret she's kept since she was caught sniffing her brother's socks as a child. If her parents see this story, they'll know the truth. Her life has been torn apart, but really she knew this would happen one day. Humiliated, she goes to work, uncertain as to who in her office has caught on.

It's so perfect. What did they seriously expect from an "AI" chatbot patterned on twitter and facebook style updates? What middle manager was so disconnected from the world that he passed it on to his superiors? Why did they sign off? Who the gently caress decided to not curate or at least filter its output? It's like the whole company is made up of the deaf-blind-mute monkeys.
