You can look like a Twitter star!
Good lord. Has it come to this? Are we all so desperate for popularity we will turn to a COOL BIRD IN SUNGLASSES for assistance? We would rather get caught looking at pornography of real birds wearing sunglasses than risk clicking on anything to do with this horrifying page.
Let’s not even refer to this product/tool by name, lest it gain .0000001 percent more status on the old Google rankings.

I believe the phrase is something along the lines of “No-one has ever lost money by underestimating the imntelligence (or is it taste) of the general public”
Or something like that. Mencken I think the bloke’s naem was if anyone else can be bothered to check and correct it.
But jeez, yeah. There’re no doubt some thickos out there who think this is good and would pay money for it. I failed to even understand the whole “You are here, we take you here” bit of the ad – why’s that an improvement?
If you need me, I’ll be in the loft, hanging from the rafters.

I am not imntelligent enough to tell is Giger was using sarcasm in misspelling the word “intelligent” and others or it was just beautiful irony.
And really, I am a frowning bird in sunglasses? Has life gotten to be so bad?

Yes, it was an (unintentionally) ironic mistake, on a par with your use of ‘tell is Giger’.
There’s a spare rafter up here if you’re interested?

A lame cheat for a lame network. If it’s like being a lame traitor to the lame Nazi’s, this is a decent initiative, as I think the latter lame cancels out the first (although it doesn’t seem to work the other way around…)
Yet if it’s like being a lame contestant on a lame game show (like hole in the w–can’t even say it), the lames get multiplied and it’s infinitely sad.
I’m torn here. Someone tell me what to think.
