Yahoo Doesn’t Need A Fail Whale

I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been crazy busy. But it’s more than that: I don’t want to post just to hate on people. And every single time I think I have a good thing to write about, it comes out negative. And that has kept me away. But, apparently I can’t deny what I am.

I’m a hater.

I just can’t help it.

Maybe it is the heat, I don’t know. But shit like this just pisses me off, and has for *far too long*:

A gentle note to Yahoo:

I DO NOT LIVE IN MOTHERFUCKING FRANCE!

And dammit, Yahoo, you know this. You’ve known me forever. Look – I’m logged in! Read my profile. Or see that I’m connected from a well known ISP in the US, with an IP address which simply *does not roam*. And cookies! You’ve got the cookies.  You can look at those and see every place I’ve asked about. None of those places is in France, or Mexico, or anywhere else you’ve asked me about.

I can’t believe this fail has lasted as long as it has. Why not just go all the way and give me a pulldown list with every country in the world on it. (Be sure to put Afghanistan first on the list and the US way down past Uganda too. Bonus points!)

See how negative I’m being? Feel the hate? It just seems so wrong.

But man, it *feels* so right.

Still, maybe I should be more compassionate. Maybe Yahoo US is underfunded and just can’t make it better. Hey! I know: Maybe the guys at Yahoo Japan can make it better. Seems like they have some extra budget over there…
