Evil Hello Kitty

Vox is MySpace with slanty lines. Also: OMG Circlez!!!!!!!

It seems people are getting stupider. Every morning I read about 500 websites in order get a read on the daily Global Intelligence Number. GIN has been reaching new lows lately, and you know what that means.. with stupid people come stupid advertisements. In this first of many stupid ad posts, here is an ad I saw on a bunch of blogs this morning…

BenTrott: OK Anil, we just launched a new blogging service, so go make us some blog ads!
AnilDash: Um, don’t we already have TypePad *and* LiveJournal?? Why do we need another one??
MenaTrott: Anil, what our market research has shown is that bloggers have *evolved*. Today’s bloggers aren’t the same old bloggers, Anil.
AnilDash: WTF does that mean?
BenTrott: Well, I asked Mena’s mom, and she said that today’s bloggers like circles!
AnilDash: Circles??
BenTrott: And not just any circles.. concentric circles!
MenaTrott: With pink annuli!!
AnilDash: OMG C1RCLEZ!!!!!!!
BenTrott: And they also like slanty lines!
AnilDash: So Vox is MySpace with slanty lines?
MenaTrott: Yes but not too many slanty lines! And throw in some hipsters with Hello Kitty shirts for good measure!
AnilDash: Won’t we get sued?
MenaTrott: *EVIL* Hello Kitty knock-offs, Anil. Get with it!

Haha... what?
