Amazingly tasteless display

The first three, in addition to being tasteless, manage to annoy the target audience. -- "...was poorly, lugubrious and intoxicated." -- Patrick O'Brian, "Master and Commander"

Even (especially?)tasteles jokes need something called timing. ----------------------------------------- It is much harder to be a liberal than a conservative. Why? Because it is easier to give someone the finger than it is to give them a helping hand. Mike Royko

I don't know what the tie in is with Corel, but I receive their electronic newsletter (which included this link). I could seriously relate to the Clippy add in that I have been doing a major MFAC presentation (on Powerpoint, of course) this whole week and I would have loved to have whupped Clippy's ass on a number of occasions. I also have a soft spot for the babies/toddlers one. Guess it's 'cause I still got young ones. But I see a similarity in the mannerisms of babes and corporate execs. Had they put the clowns in the boardroom it would have been more appropo... Just a few thoughts, Danno
