If you read this rant regularly, you'll know that this is one of my favorite topics.
AND I'VE JUST SEEN IT AGAIN!!!!!
The first time I saw the Comcast ad with the appalling typo was nearly a month ago. Generously, I thought it was a one-off appearance and that heads would have rolled and that we'd never see it again.
I wrote back then about the TSDG designer screw-up policy as follows:
Everyone makes mistakes; we're only human. But we like accuracy and we like to eat. Put these two together and we have a policy whereby, if a member of TSDG makes a serious error, they have to buy lunch for the entire team. This applies to everyone - and we've all done it. It's a great policy actually; it's 'punishment' for the person who made the error (well, for their wallet anyway) and everyone's happy because we all get lunch.
The reason I'm writing about this is because the person who did the ad above, would owe several lunches if he or she worked at TSDG.
I was amazed, days later, that the ad was still being shown. But it still is.
But, you see, what happens is that you start looking at that company's other ads and you can't help criticizing them.
For fun, I had thought of buying the domain comcastsucks.com but I found that someone got there before me. I wonder why?????
