    Probably not!

    Not a big WTF, but I found it amusing nonetheless:

     How does an ad like this get approved before being posted?  Yes!

    How do you keep your clients up to date?

    I use the internet. 

    Umm, what exactly do you mean?

    No, you're not listening.  I use the internet!

    So what exact program or website do you use on the internet to keep your clients up to date?

    Internet Explorer.  It came with my computer.  I would think you would know that! 

    SpectateSwamp: I can see you. You don't have to hide anymore. C'mon out and play!

    [10:07] <fatdog> so from now on.. be sure to wear nice clean underwear
    [10:07] <mps> fatdog: That is simply not going to happen

    Sometimes it amazes me that these same people are allowed to drive 4,000 lbs of machinery at high speed.

     According to PacketTrap they are doing it wrong.

    You are supposed to surf the net for porn, then when the deadline looms you copy the image of the naked girl on a pc and add it to your ad copy and submit.

    Proof can be seen here:

    Same here. The only work I usually accomplish is "status" reports, and then when the bone-crushing deadline pressure hits me, I freak out and Jam It!

    Not here. Marketing is the reason for the majority of our deadlines. They sell things that don't exist, and then we are expected to deliver post-haste.

    Thats why Vista was the example...the upside of marketing is they make you look good, the downside of marketing is they make you look too good.
