I don’t like the wasted productivity, the slow applications, or the generally unusable user interface, but I do actually love that windows gets all of the viruses out there. It’s penitence by the users of the worlds worst operating, offered up to the veneer of supposed shimmering brilliance that emanates down from the blinding white cathedrals of Redmond. Or would they be blinding green cathedrals because of all of the money stolen from the people because of windows licensing? Doesn’t matter, because there’s a new virus out there to fuck you all over!
“That’s when many of the poisoned machines will get more aggressive about “phoning home” to the worm’s creators over the Internet. When that happens, the bad guys behind the worm will be able to trigger the program to send spam, spread more infections, clog networks with traffic, or try and bring down Web sites.” Suckers.

It’s march and I’m posting this now – because BumPaddler just started so how could I have written about it before? eh? Not sure. Anyway, from the worst in design, to the worst in content, all the way to the just plain terribly offensive, here are the worst sites of 2008!
That’s the first 5 of 10, for the rest of the list see the reviews with pictures and scathing content.
“In accordance with the greedy trend of the times, it seems that one of his company’s first orders of business, was to ensure that Charter’s top execs were adequately set up in their golden parachutes and post-bankruptcy bonuses.”
The bastards over at Charter Cable have decided to fuck everyone over just like AIG. Not only are they going ass end up in the books, but they’ve also decided to give out bonuses to their executives for doing such a great job. Nice work! Way to stay profitable, wait… why are they getting bonuses? Don’t you usually get a bonus or a raise at the end of the year for doing good work and making the company more money? Shouldn’t a company try to pay off debt if they are going broke rather than give bonuses to the very same people that drove the company into the ground?
Hey, it gets better. This company is owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. So, one of the assclowns that is responsible for ripping everyone off with the Windows licensing nonsense is also doing a failure of a job with Charter Communications. Remember that when you pay your next cable/internet bill.
FTA: “The bonuses are: CEO Neil Smit – $6 million; COO Michael Lovett – $2.38 million; CFO Eloise Schmitz – $765,000; and don’t forget the lawyer, general counsel Grier Raclin – $765,000… Smit – $2.5 million; Lovett – $910,000; Schmitz – $664,000; and Raclin – $597,000.”
