Why Kids Nowsaday cannot speaking properry.

Came across this today at the shop near my house. It's a chart that contains pictures and captions in good English. Or so they thought.


The latest LITERACY WALLCHART FOR CHILDREN


featuring pictures and captions like:

"The People Work on the Daytime"

"Blue Lake likes a Mirror"

"Hu Hu Hu like the wind"

"Di di di like the rain clouds"

and for the more advanced,

"Simultaneous Thunderstorms are bright loud and lightning"

Ya I'm sure a kid (and their equally dopey parents) who think(s) all the above captions are in proper English would also be able to understand what "simultaneous" and "thunderstorms" are. Cockheads.

All for S$2.50. Go figure.

This is what i wrote to the REAL customer service dudes at Friendster:

Hi there

I received this message from a user called "Olivia" who claims to be on the "manger team" (i'm assuming this person meant manager). I am suspicious of the message (see below) since i do not know how my profile has "violated terms of use" and also since this person does not know how to spell "manager" in the first place. Let's not get me started on the grammar. Thought you'd like to know.


Cheers,

Shane P.



Now, in the words of Dilbert, I don't ask for much... And boy, do I get it. I mean, fuck la, "some steps you should follow for reactivate your Freindster account"? "The Manger of Friendster Team"? I mean, what the heck is Jesus' bedspead doing running a friendster team? Are people seriously that dumb or do these people actually know that most poeple are dumb when it comes to money? (The second is rather more disturbing actually).

I don't ask for spam, but can't I even get a fucking decent one?? Like those emails that you get from banks that have even the damn logo, a number you can call, an actual con artist who puts in the effort and even answers the phone, just so they can steal your thousands of savings. Or those China network websites that even direct you to a log in page (totally fabricated of course, with flash and video and shit) with a login password and ID given to you by a fake representative from CCCTV who calls you up and says you've won 100,000 USD. Now that's fucking efffort! Even the goddamn viagra mails (yes, and we've all gotten them, especially if you use that useless spam-filled NUS exchange mail service, so it's not just me... i CHECKED.) come with nice pictures. AT LEAST. What must a guy do to get a decent spam mail nowadays??

I feel so cheated.
