The Daily Sucker

Daily Sucker #1 for Tuesday, November 18, 2008

November 17th, 2008 5:05 pm by Vincent Flanders

Submitter comments: None

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I was reading an entry in TechCrunch about a baby-naming site. I decided to take a look and here’s part of the message I received:

Doesn't work in IE6

My response? “Hi. You appear to be incompetent programmers. The worse part is you’re ex-Microsoft employees. I’m using IE7 as this screen capture demonstrates.”

Not helping any claim to competency is the fact that there’s horizontal scrolling.

On the page they ask, “Are we missing a name?” Yes, you’re missing “DumbAss.”

Yes, they’ll fix this pretty soon, but a little testing would have been in order.

What-a-Lovely-Name
