Sometimes you see an idea so zany that you have trouble even modeling the person who thought it might be a good idea, and went so far as to follow through. This is one of those times, for me.
- yaml-ops-guy 6y agoSadly with the amount of “it’s just a joke bro” I see on the Internet, it wasn’t as difficult for me to model the person lacking the necessary scruples to think of this and then immediately think “nah, I better not”
- tablespoon 6y agoDoubly so for this. I can't understand how someone could come to the conclusion that 1) customers would think this was funny, and 2) it would improve their brand. I mean, this is a like an AWS April fools joke where they pretend to loose all your data or something.
- datavirtue 6y agoTypical tone deaf actions of the privileged. Myself, I would just chuckle and think "yeah right." Ten years ago I would have been in a panic, as someone mentioned previously, this would have been my food money for the month or my house payment and I would have been at thier mercy for a refund. Not appropriate, obviously now.
- chakhs 6y agoTrue and especially in France where there are lots of ghettos, I have friends there who were making around 1200€ a month (common minimum wage), and paying 600€ for rent. They probably had 400€ running monthly costs. Imagine these people receiving a 500€ bill...

- dariusj18 6y agoThe worst part is, I'm not sure it was only one person.
