15:15 EET
Well, I just saw the most
amazingly stupid use of the
e-
buzzword (buzzletter?) yet.
You know what I'm talking about. eBusiness, eCommerce,
eBay,
etc.
In the
ads of a major
bank that are
scattered all over
Finland, they use the
word "E-nemmän".
Enemmän means
more in the
Finnish language.
"Nemmän" isn't a word at all. So
E-nemmän does
not mean
anything, at least in my
native tongue.
With
"M-ore", you'd still have the
ore which stands for
something. Not to mention the use of
E-nemmän looks exactly what it is - a
lame attempt to
cash in on
trendy but mostly
useless services.
I'd like to show the
dumbass advertisers where to
stick their
fashionable e:s.
That was my rant for today.
The
workday has been going far better than
yesterday. My
boss didn't
trash all my
ideas, and I got a new
chair to
replace the old
back-wrecker (tm). To
top that my
sunburn is
practically healed, and it's almost the
weekend already!
Yay!
The
NGE DVD I was
hyping yesterday was very
nice indeed. The
picture quality was a bit
fuzzy and there was no
extra stuff to speak of, but I still got
mesmerized by the
series itself. (Which I already had seen entirely, but in a
bad quality
format.)
I'd still like to
whine a bit about the
fact that the
disk was delayed
whopping 6 months just so the
French and
Spanish dub tracks could be
synced to the
animation.
ARGH! What kind of
sick individual would watch
anime in a
dubbed state
voluntarily anyway?
I really hope it doesn't take a
year for the second part to arrive on DVD. I'm in
danger of
dying for
old age before the entire
show is out - and I'm only 21!
Well.. I thought I didn't have any rants left. Sorry!
Track of the day: Gaetano Parisio - Advanced Techno Research B1
Very very funky.
