That pink and blue sign would only get attention in the wrong way.

yeah, I think that would cause crashes... mainly because of people like me that would be going... oh, pretty sign *crash*

Hmm, I suppose this is a perfect example of why the engineers phrase for marketers is 'shoot on sight'.

[Custard Chick]

Oh... Oh that makes me hurt. My insides ache.

It's companies like these that will bring me to an early death...

*shudders*

Oh, I understand. I got a shudder watching this, too. Bureaucrats, brown-nosers and marketers will be the death of this society.

Except for one thing. Where I work, just about every project comes out looking exactly the same. In fact, here's what we get pretty much 100% of the time:



I just stay in my happy place, and tell people that if they ever tell anyone I had anything to do with the design of any of this stuff, I'll sue the ass off them.

That made my brain hurt. The fable of the boy, his father, and their mule comes to mind.
