When I chanced upon Ribbonfarm a few years back, I was super impressed and in fact, invested many hours of my life to watch 'The Office'.
In hindsight, I was bit of an idiot. I fell for spruced-up language that was clearly trying to mask the absence of serious content or thought. A few good ideas, sure, but they're mostly common-sensical and could've been delivered in an easier manner.
