I like how the blame for everything gets deflected to the contracting company. Like Hyundai had no idea what was going on. Similar things happen with stuff like workplace safety. "Shouldn't that guy be strapped into that lift?&quo

It was interesting seeing all the image hosts in the old days. ImageShack, PhotoBucket, etc They'd either die because they couldn't afford the server bills or die because they went commercial. Some left gaping holes in forums etc
