Marketting Buzzwords

I am getting really fucking tired of people using the word 'solution' when they mean 'product'. Your company does not sell 'business solutions'. Knock it the fuck off! Stop trying to over-complicate what your company does by replacing words. If your company sells rubber dog shit, you do NOT sell synthetic canine waste solutions. Face it, you are a rubber dog shit company and sell rubber dog shit.

Companies that focus in computer products are guilty of this the most, espcially when what they sell isn't too clear. When you hear 'solutions' instead of 'product' in a company's sales pitch, be warned that you are most likely being sold something completely and utterly useless to you. It's meaningless! It's nothing more than a way to confuse and delude the customer while simultaneously artificially increasing the value of the product by one-hundred percent. If you were to buy a Resturant Website, you would expect to pay $500 to $1000 for it. If you were to buy a Culinary Enterprise Web Solution, you could expect to pay between $2500 and $5000. This kind of revolting language makes me want to slap a baby... or at least look into infant disciplinary solutions.

Hooray For Socialism!!

Get ready folks... Tonight marks a moment in our country's history where things can get messed up very badly. If people thought Bush was bad, just wait. Eggshells my friends, eggshells. Okay Obama, you won the office. Now, better make good on all of those promises you made that got you there and not just be the novelty black president you are right now.
