Today’s LOL at our house

19 March 2009

Nicola has just posted the funniest thing this week.

The thing is, I’ve been involved in product development for a large-scale brand. Product specifications, designs, and prototypes have a lot of approval stages. Many people said yes to this. Did no one ever step back and say, Dude, wait a minute…

Way too funny.

And yes, I know I should be offering you something of my own instead of shamelessly piggybacking on my sweetie’s ability to find the funny, but hey — I gotta go to the grocery store now. Hang in there, all of you, have a lovely day.

Edited to add: Nicola thinks this may actually be an Onion-esque type of spoof, which I would find equally funny and also reassuring… because we worries about the intellectual future of the human race sometimes, precious, we do.

    Yeah, peel it like an onion.

    Ridiculous things *do* make it past multiple approval stages, though. Some decades ago I worked in the research department of an ad agency, and we were chagrined when we realized that at least a dozen people had failed to consider the probability that we wouldn’t get much information about snow tire use from Dallas drivers…

    Phoenix: LOL again. Yep, that’s exactly why we now have a way to say *facepalm* on the internet (grin).
